Commit 58abd5873985e0cd9a2926867bf697c5e7bc01f9 appears to be
incomplete.

Let’s suppose this:

  (mkdir /tmp/fakechroot-test && cd ~/tmp/fakechroot-test/ && \
   tar xf $(guix pack --save-provenance -RR openmpi intel-mpi-benchmarks bash-minimal -S /bin=bin))

The motivating example at the beginning of this thread works fine:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ unshare -m -U -r -f sh -c 'mount -t tmpfs none /gnu; GUIX_EXECUTION_ENGINE=fakechroot /tmp/fakechroot-test/bin/orterun --version'
orterun (OpenRTE) 4.1.4

… but this doesn’t:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ unshare -m -U -r -f sh -c 'mount -t tmpfs none /gnu; GUIX_EXECUTION_ENGINE=fakechroot /tmp/fakechroot-test/bin/IMB-MPI1'
/tmp/fakechroot-test/gnu/store/i9ypns78lmy8xr0x4zvdwc4b80m0yl72-intel-mpi-benchmarks-2019.6/bin//IMB-MPI1: error while loading shared libraries: libevent_core-2.1.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Reason appears to be that ‘LOADER_AUDIT_RUNPATH’ only contains what’s in
the RUNPATH of ‘IMB-MPI1’ and not its indirect dependencies—libevent is
one of them.
