The rpath is only automatically set to at-bundle when using the CLI: https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaC.jl/blob/ed13d9ece8db9bb29cdf5230c76a8f1de11c3ecd/src/JuliaC.jl#L173-L179 For the library API this wouldn't make sense since bundling happens after linking, so at linking time we don't know yet if the user wants to bundle.

Trying #2629 again now that we are some patch releases further along. EDIT: the switch to Julia v1.12 is now done with #2815, I rebased this to only add the JuliaC switch, which is less urgent. For JuliaC we use this branch: JuliaLang/JuliaC.jl#47. That should set the desired CPU_TARGET, which was the main reason for reverting the previous attempt. Status: I can run the TeamCity JuliaC generated binaries locally, so the CPU_TARGET seems to work. The Linux binaries seem to for some models. The libribasim.dll file grew from 0.9 to 1.2 GB. Update: this now works well on Windows. There is a libribasim.dll.a added to the zip root that we perhaps should remove, but the Windows build went from 1h40m to 1h8m, and testing the binaries from 20m to 17m as well so latency doesn't seem increased. I ran the Windows binaries locally. The binary wasn't working directly for me on Linux only after fiddling with the load path, we need to fix that, perhaps in main.rs or with a JuliaC rpath option or such.

For the library API this wouldn't make sense since bundling happens after linking, so at linking time we don't know yet if the user wants to bundle.
This led to some confusion when the libraries had absolute rpaths set to the Julia installation of our build server.
