Please include the following information if you're reporting an issue.

• Which operating system you're using. Centos 8. amd64.
• Which Python version. Python 3.6
• Which exodus package version. exodus-bundler 2.0.4
• The command that you're running (please include the --verbose flag so that the stack trace is included).
• The full output of the command.

centos8$ exodus \
  --verbose \
  --add /lib64/libnss_files.so.2 \
  --add /lib64/libnss_dns.so.2 \
  --add /lib64/libnss_myhostname.so.2 \

So the issue appears to be the startup wrapper script.

centos9$ cat ./.exodus/bin/foo.bar.aksjdkadj.2210311345
#! /bin/bash

current_directory="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"
executable="${current_directory}/./foo.bar.aksjdkadj.2210311345-x"
library_path="../../lib64:../../usr/lib64:../../lib:../../usr/lib:../../lib32:../../usr/lib32"
library_path="${current_directory}/${library_path//:/:${current_directory}/}"
linker="${current_directory}/./linker-68e1553cd79d844f7efe46e38dadc34b8af4af011c78c701f4b377ccf8f6df9a"
if [ "true" == "true" ]; then
    exec "${linker}" --library-path "${library_path}" --inhibit-rpath "" "${executable}" "$@"
else
    exec "${linker}" --library-path "${library_path}" "${executable}" "$@"
fi
centos9$

The bundled linker looks to support this flag:

centos9$ ./.exodus/bundles/210dfd9330e9bed177209f5e9545314ce45943c20426fc5f859f2ddc4c059d4b/home/witek/linker-68e1553cd79d844f7efe46e38dadc34b8af4af011c78c701f4b377ccf8f6df9a --help | grep inhibit-rpath
  --inhibit-rpath LIST  ignore RUNPATH and RPATH information in object names

But when I try to run the wrapper script with extra commands to pass to the target executable, it does not work properly:

foo@centos9$ /home/foo/.exodus/bin/foo.bar.aksjdkadj.2210311345 ./cfg/foo1.json
