[Nix-dev] Best practives for handling setuid build inputs

Hi!

What is the best way to work around Nix's lack of support
for setuid binaries?

The build/test process I'm trying to describe in Nix unfortunately has
hard dependencies on multiple setuid binaries -- chroot, ping etc.

The workflow I'm aiming to support revolves around performing
builds/tests within the environment provided by `nix-shell --pure`.
