Yes, it doesn't require root privileges.  It truns out I was wrong and
it does not work out of the box, but we can add a file, as ordinary
users, to make it work:

$ cat .config/containers/storage.conf 
[storage]
driver = "overlay"
[storage.options.overlay]
ignore_chown_errors = "true"

The permissions in the containers won't be correct, but it should be
sufficient to run various distributions and their compilers/linkers.

Thanks,
Florian
