Maybe install PBI executables with a wrapper of some
sort which would set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and exec the
real executable, or build similar functionality into
a specialized variant of /usr/lib/crt1.o (which BTW
seems not to have a manpage)?

Nah, that would be too easy.  There must be some lethal
flaw in it.
