os detection failing due to paths

[tfoote]

Example output output: [6] Cannot open self /tmp/staticx-OdKefo/detect_os or archive /tmp/staticx-OdKefo/detect_os.pkg

There seems to be a recent regression in PyInstaller that's compounded with staticx

• Regression: Broken path resolution of the archive, if it is not located in PATH (for Unix only) pyinstaller/pyinstaller#5257 with Fix bootloader: On Unix fix path lookup of archive pyinstaller/pyinstaller#5258 but there's some related traffic on an older ticket: cannot open self x or archive x.pkg pyinstaller/pyinstaller#2357

I have not found a version of pyinstaller to pin it to that will work. It might be related to needing to pin the bootloader too. pyinstaller/pyinstaller#2357 (comment)

This does specifically work with the pyinstaller output but not after being run through staticx

There's a related older ticket here too: JonathonReinhart/staticx#71

This fails in my binary installation from debs, but I cannot reproduce it in my workspace

$ rocker --nvidia --x11 --user --home --pulse --nocache tfoote/drone_demo 
tfoote@snowman5:~ Last: [130] (0s Seconds)
$ rocker --version
rocker 0.2.2
tfoote@snowman5:~ Last: [0] (0s Seconds)
$ which rocker
/usr/bin/rocker

There is an issue that --nocache doesn't pass through to the detector.

This is fixed with the switch to use the go based os detection in #204
