The built AppImage uses as working directory the mount directory of the AppImage with FUSE. Consequently, every command arguments requiring a path cannot use relative paths with the expected results.

This is actually default behaviour of AppImages built with AppRun, but it might be corrected using different build tools (see here for more information).

I've done a test today, and it seems the "new" tooling needs to be run over a very old deployment:

$ ./linuxdeployqt-continuous-x86_64.AppImage LibreOffice.AppDir/startcenter.desktop -appimage
linuxdeployqt  (commit 2b38449), build 62 built on 2023-12-27 21:00:01 UTC
ERROR: The host system is too new.
Please run on a system with a glibc version no newer than what comes with the oldest
currently supported mainstream distribution (Ubuntu Focal Fossa), which is glibc 2.31.
This is so that the resulting bundle will work on most still-supported Linux distributions.
For more information, please see
https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/issues/340

Practically, before re-experimenting with new tooling, I need to re-design the building pipeline. That will take much more than anticipated.
