We used proot and gdb to debug binaries within another sysroot. While it worked with the master branch and with an older kernel it doesn't work with a more recent kernel and/or this patch.
You can reproduce it with this command:
$ proot -R / gdb /bin/true

With an older kernel and the master branch it works fine and when the application throws a segmentation fault we can catch it in gdb.
With a more recent kernel and the master branch we have to use PROOT_NO_SECCOMP=1 but gdb freezes when the application terminates. With a more recent kernel and this PR we get a segmentation fault as documented above.
