node22-linux-x64 binary is exiting with status 4 when built on MacOs (M2)

[michaelwittig]

What version of pkg are you using?

6.3.1

What version of Node.js are you using?

v22.14.0

What operating system are you using?

macOS

What CPU architecture are you using?

Apple M2

What Node versions, OSs and CPU architectures are you building for?

node22-linux-x64

Describe the Bug

On my Apple (M2) laptop:

npx pkg --targets node22-linux-x64 --output main --debug main.js

I don't see anything unusual in the debug output.

On the Linux server:

DEBUG_PKG=2 ./main

output:

[...]
fs.existsSync [ '/snapshot/src/main.js' ]
fs.statSync [ '/snapshot/src/main.js' ]
fs.readSync []
fs.realpathSync [ '/snapshot/src/main.js' ]
fs.readFileSync [ '/snapshot/src/main.js', 'utf8' ]
fs.readSync []

echo $?

output:

4

The binary works when using the --public option for "building":

npx pkg --targets node22-linux-x64 --output main --debug --public main.js

Expected Behavior

The created binary should work.

@michaelwittig is this happening only with nodejs 22?
