Fixes FS#68630

Patch is fine, but commit message needed work. I don't think it is the reopening of stdin that is important here. Here is what I edited it to: Read targets from stdin before chrooting Operations involving --sysroot and reading targets from stdin were failing due to attempting to read targets after chrooting. Move the chroot to happen after targets are read. Fixes FS#68630
