I just want to point out that for us this problem is not theoretical. We regularly have binaries in /nix/store segfault or produce other errors due to bad interactions with LD_LIBRARY_PATH on shared RHEL and Ubuntu machines. I filed this as an issue here: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/902#issuecomment-219389037 But I'm closing it now because it seems like a known implication of the design that LD_LIBRARY_PATH clobbers nix-built executables.
