Description
Requested feature
Build images with a different runtime like sysbox-runc or nvidea-docker.
Usecase
Generally a great feature to have when working with docker-in-docker or nvidea GPU applications.
In my case I want to run docker in docker and need to run docker commands during the build process. These will fail as building images uses the default runtime, which isn't capable of running docker in docker.
Expected command
Add the --runtime argument from docker run to the build command like this
docker build --runtime=sysbox-runc .

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating how the build command handles runtime selection and compare it with Docker’s requested --runtime option. Done means a build can select sysbox-runc or another runtime, including the docker-in-docker use case, with coverage for the new behavior.
