Failed to open shared object file when using re2

[naskya]

Description

I ran into an issue where re2 doesn't work because a shared object is not found. This is probably related to #1490.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the package-template and confirm it works

$ git clone https://github.com/napi-rs/package-template.git
$ cd package-template
$ yarn && yarn build
$ yarn bench  # this works

2. Use re2

$ vim Cargo.toml  # add re2 = "0.0.8" to [dependencies]
$ cat >> src/lib.rs <<EOF
#[napi]
pub fn foo() {
  let _ = "[a-z]".parse::<re2::RE2>().expect("");
}
EOF
$ yarn && yarn build
$ yarn bench

    ^

Node.js v21.6.1

re2 has a static feature flag, but it produces another error (which doesn't occur without napi)

[dependencies]
napi = "2.15.0"
napi-derive = "2.15.0"
re2 = { version = "0.0.8", default-features = false, features = ["static"] }

$ yarn
$ yarn build

[naskya]

Well, I was going to use re2 because of its (bi)linear time complexity, but I just realised that the standard regex crate also meets the criteria:

This implementation uses finite automata and guarantees linear time matching on all inputs.

https://github.com/rust-lang/regex

so my problem has gone (I feel stupid...)

Similar problems may occur with other crates, so I'll keep this ticket open.
