getlibs on Arch?

Is getlibs exclusive to Ubuntu and Debian or can I run it on Arch too?

Also, while I'm at it, is hwd exclusive to Arch or would it run on Debian?

No, getlibs depends on dpkg (information), apt, and packages.ubuntu.com. For what purpose are you looking for something like getlibs on Arch?

I'm using a 64-bit machine and I used getlibs to install apple shake onto ubuntu. I installed arch linux over ubuntu and now I can't use apple shake.

I would install the needed 32-bit libs, but I'm not sure how to find out which libs are needed.

There is no automated way to add the libraries but it's still possible.

$ objdump -x /path/to/binary |grep NEEDED

That will print out any needed libraries, pair it with yaourt and do a search for lib32. Then select what you need.

ldd should do the same thing (getlibs uses it) but it doesn't work for me.

$ ldd /path/to/binary | grep "not found"
