I found the post, and maybe the best approach is to have one generic setup_chroot.sh which calls another platform 
specific shell script (or program) which builds the list of the libs/binaries needed.

Which can also be easily altered to fit specific needs.

So basically we would have
setup_chroot.sh
arch/sun-sparc-SunOS-5.8/find_libs.sh
arch/hp-hppa1.1-HPUX-10.20/find_libs.sh

If it's just the one script it's probably easier to call it just find_libs_sol8-sparc.sh

That would allow people on the list to submit a dedicated script for their platform and
you could add it to the distribution without having to worry about your the primary target platform.

It may be necessary to provide more the just a list of variables, but that could be done by
defining which variables have to be set and which could be overwritten by the script.

Judging from what we sell to our customers here, Sun and HP for larger server are the clear winners.
Noone wants to pay a whole mainframe just to add a service to the network ;-)
