Subj.
Otherwise, it will always be problems like that:

$ # In the jail
$ env -i
zsh: too many levels of symbolic links: env
$ ls -l /bin/env
lrwxrwxrwx 1 65534 65534 8 авг  4 05:01 /bin/env -> /bin/env

$ # Outside the jail
$ ls -l /usr/bin/env /bin/mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 мар 10 04:10 /usr/bin/env -> /bin/env*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   13 апр 11 02:32 /bin/mail -> /usr/bin/mail*
# ^ There can be a cross-symlinks from /bin to /usr/bin and vice versa
# So, it is no way to properly resolve it with paths prioritization only.

I'll try to squeeze something in the next release, and we have to do the same for all other --private options.
