Actually as long as you include all of the libraries in the same
bundle and call ldso with the path to the bundled libc then it is
perfectly possible to build a complete set that will work on most
distros, on the same architecture and across compatible kernel
versions of course.  On my system that would be libncurses.so.5,
libdl.so.2, libc.so.6, ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 plus bash itself and a
portable sh script wrapper to tie it all together.  I do that with
other tools frequently.
