You don't have to build the executable yourself. You can just apt-get install whatever and then bundle only the shared libraries used by whatever particular executable you care about (for instance, moreutils includes a ton of tools, maybe you only care about `vidir`, and `vidir` probably doesn't need all the libraries that `isutf8` (also packaged by moreutils) uses). I did this just recently by hand when I wanted to run a source-only binary in my dom0 but didn't want to build it in the dom0. I built it in a container, checked what shared libraries it wanted with `ldd path/to/binary` inside the container, copied all of the referenced libraries to ~/libs, then copied that dir and the binary to dom0 and ran it with `LD_LIBARARY_PATH=$HOME/libs path/to/binary`, worked perfectly.
