Well, that's a problem - because that set can vary depending on what
switches you specify at waf configure time, which is a later stage.
I think you'd best scratch this one and resign yoursef to doing installs
into scratch directories to see that list.

Is this meant to be a list of configurations you want supported?
Without tools is presumably ntpd only.
Does 'tools' include ntpviz?

That is doable.

Yeah, that I have no idea how to tackle. The problem is that we don't
know the target environment will be using the same package manager
as the build environment.

Not that I know of. But none of our expert buildbot wranglers is me.
