mkarchroot creates a new system root. If you want to test a program in
an isolated environment, I suggest you look into systemd-nspawn. If you
want more security, libvirt-lxc may be your friend (it seems lxc is
broken in many ways and doesn't work right with systemd, libvirt-lxc
however seems to be fine, I tested neither).
