Hmm, I am not sure how I feel about this. This appears a bit too
specific for me, and given the requirement for static binaries this is
also so limited.
I wonder if we can find a different way to support this, without adding
high-level switches to nspawn itself.
For example, couldn't extending "--bind=" a bit to also support bind
mounting files (in contrast to just directories the way it currently
does) already gets us 90% of the way? And then do the rest 10% by adding
an example how to use this to bind mount static binaries from the host
into the container to the example in the man page? Allowing bind
mounting of files has been on the TODO list for a while anyway...
Something like:
# systemd-nspawn -D /srv/mycontainer
--bind=/usr/bin/populate-container:/tmp/populate-container
/tmp/populate-container
This of course wouldn't check if the file executed is staticall linked,
but the user should quickly get an error about missing .sos if it isn't?

This bit looks like like something we really should do though. Could you
isolate this out and resubmit, please?

And this too, of course...
