Some additional info. Creating /compat/linux/tmp makes the pidfile move
there instead when I start the service. Creating /compat/linux/var/run
does _not_ make the pidfile appear there. I though for a brief moment
that I had to symlink /compat/linux/var/run to /var/run but that seems
to be the wrong solution. Still interested in some pointers while I
continue trying to solve this...
