The easiest way is IMHO a minimal setup looking like this:

<somepath>/lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.3.2.so
<somepath>/lib/ld-2.3.2.so
<somepath>/lib/libc (and other needed libs)
<somepath>/bin/skype

...and then start it with something like:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<somepath>/lib <somepath>/lib/ld-linux.so.2 <somepath>/bin/skype

This is something like a small version of a chroot environment. Of
course, you'd rename "skype" to "skype.bin" and place a skype script
somewhere in $PATH to ease it's invocation.

See above. However, that's really offtopic here.
