I haven't tried, but I'm afraid it won't solve my problem. First, if I do a 'binded' mount of /proc, any change in the chrooted proc will reflect in the original one, so I'm in trouble anyway. Second, if I do 'mount' or 'cat /proc/mounts' the proc filesystem will be shown twice anyway (correct me here if I'm wrong).
By now I'm going to keep using two independent mounts until I find a better approach... Thanks for your answer :)
