DEBUG_README.html has suggestions to watch a daemon with strace.
Do this once with chroot, and once without.
Next, look for differences between the traces. Normally, lots of
syscalls fail. You use the "without chroot" record to eliminate the
uninteresting failures from the "without strace" record, and find
the first anomaly.
Have fun.
