[bug] AppImage Bundles Need an exclusion mechanic for standalone sidecar binaries

[magicaldave]

Describe the bug

I've a project which links a nuitka standalone binary in and uses it as a sidecar. In development builds and deb releases, this works awesome. However, AppImages modify the binary in a way nuitka doesn't need or expect which breaks it completely.

Here is a diff of the original binary and the one being put into the appimage: bindiff.txt

Which seems to occur at this point in the build process when using --verbose:

[gtk/stdout] WARNING: $NO_STRIP environment variable detected, not stripping binaries
[gtk/stdout] Setting rpath in ELF file netchiman.AppDir/usr/bin/netchiman to $ORIGIN/../lib
[gtk/stdout] Setting rpath in ELF file netchiman.AppDir/usr/bin/umo to $ORIGIN/../lib

And then upon launch causes umo to throw this error:

I guess what I need here is a means to exclude the umo binary from being modified by this build process. As far as I can tell, this should work fine if I could just get the AppImage builds to not screw around with this elf file.

My problem is I can't tell what's actually doing this or where! :D

Reproduction

Build this zip as an AppImage using NO_STRIP envvar. Run it, click check for updates button in top-left. It dies.

Expected behavior

App no die.
