It should already be possible to use “guix pack guix” (with a few extra
options) to generate a relocatable Guix with a daemon that can run as an
oblivious root inside the execution container.

The only missing bits then are to let the Guix command line tool talk to
the wrapped daemon, but perhaps that also works by setting the daemon
socket environment variable.
