Thanks for reporting @AIIX.

Sounds to a patchelf issue similar to NixOS/patchelf#66. Please report this to https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/issues, ideally with the library attached as an example.

Fixed and (hopefully) working, please try https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/releases/tag/continuous. Turns out that strip has a bug that cripples binaries on which patchelf was previously run (NixOS/patchelf#10). Therefore, I am now checking whether a binary has a rpath starting with $ (indicating that we already ran patchelf on it), and not run strip in that case. c643d6a

Let me know if this solves it for you.

With NixOS/patchelf#117 merged, patchelf will hopefully allow binaries to be stripped after running patchelf.
