As Martin said, this works fine for things like fakechroot, but for a
value of "fine" that I'm not sure I'd want to see in production code.

I feel like I'm missing (a lot) of context here, but what problem are
we trying to solve with LD_PRELOAD and dynamically faking paths that
we couldn't be solving in a less insane fashion?
