Personally I'd probably have tried to find/create a statically linked
minimal python binary and used that to run the relocation script. Our
own build could probably generate one with a little bit of work or
there may be some around online.

I'd be a bit concerned that you've probably not caught all the
relocation issues with the approach you're using as the relocation
script changes a number of things and I don't think you've listed
everything. I don't have the time to try and look into what you're
doing though, we taught that existing script all these things for a
reason!
