Eelco Dolstra 925b975224 Embed the sandbox shell into the statically linked 'nix' binary
With this, Nix will write a copy of the sandbox shell to /bin/sh in
the sandbox rather than bind-mounting it from the host filesystem.
This makes /bin/sh work out of the box with nix-static, i.e. you no
longer get
