As a background, this isn't an environment where I can use chroot() builds. I
suppose I could set up a VM to do it, and put the nix store in the same place,
or use a LD_PRELOAD based chroot-alike approach. But those are *both* projects
that I'm not really sure I want to undertake right now.. 

Here's a patch that tries to cover up some of the impurities in the stdenv
bootstrapping.
