nonguix: binary-build-system: Use add-rpath instead of set-rpath.
Fixes #369. Previously we were using "patchelf --set-rpath" in binary-build-system for binaries to find dependencies in Guix. However, this will override any previous setting, including if "$ORIGIN" was in RUNPATH. For Electron applications specifically (like signal-desktop and heroic), bundled libraries were not found without wrapping with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. While this does work, it is not ideal and led to issues in child processes that inherit LD_LIBRARY_PATH, namely breaking games using Wine/Proton in Heroic. A possible consequence of this commit is that Guix added paths to RUNPATH are after what was originally set, perhaps leading to library loading/compatibility issues. However, we always try to replace all needed libraries with Guix packages (just that Electron applications seem to require bundled libraries in $ORIGIN). * nonguix/build/binary-build-system.scm (patchelf): Use add-rpath instead of set-rpath. * nongnu/packages/game-client.scm (heroic-client)[arguments]<#:phases>: Remove 'wrap-where-patchelf-does-not-work phase as it is no longer needed (needed libraries are found with $ORIGIN preserved in RUNPATH). * nongnu/packages/messaging.scm (element-desktop, signal-desktop): Likewise. * nongnu/packages/editors.scm (vscodium): Likewise.
