Yes, "chroot $TREE `which ldconfig`" seems a very smart solution, but
the shell interpreter break your dream, Patrice!
Indeed, caused by its internal working mode, the command `which ldconfig`
is parsed in the actual context (i.e the user's Linux system), resulting
in a micidial "/sbin/ldconfig"!
chroot (for those that do not know this nice utility) runs a supplied
command changing the "root" for it. For example, if you (from muLinux),
mount another Linux disk under /mnt, you will get a prompt in the new
Linux with "chroot /mnt bash" (I use the trick regularly)
Anycase, after better test, also the bare "chroot $TREE ldconfig"
work fine :-)

Surely the user added some other material in the tree/: after that,
all is impredictable.
