You could run the build process with chroot or inside Docker, so that the hardcoded paths actually resolve to a designated subdirectory.

Incidentally, that’s what is usually done in Nixpkgs in similar situations when there’s no better alternative, see buildFHSEnv et al.
In many cases the build output also has hardcoded paths unfortunately

so doing `brew install` inside a container with the proper volumes it’s not sufficient to fix the issue. Everything would have to run from within the container as well.
