Care (http://reproducible.io/) (based on PRoot, http://proot.me/) may also be an interesting option. I've used it before to pack up a complete Julia installation (including packages and required system libraries) on Ubuntu 14.04 and then run it on Scientific Linux 6. Care and PRoot are available as simple static binaries and give you a simulated chroot environment (via ptrace).
