Yes, you're right about the statically linked shell, or I have to bind mount
/lib into the chroot environment as well, introducing many more impurities.
Now that I'm thinking about this: It almost sounds like a good idea to
implement a feature in Nix providing a static shell in /bin/sh for any
I could also be more creative -- e.g. running nix-daemon in a chroot providing
a pure environment. But doing that is a bit too much effort for me. :P
