AppImage bundling fails on Fedora/Arch-family distros: linuxdeploy's bundled strip binary doesn't understand the .relr.dyn ELF section that a newer glibc/binutils emits, and errors on every system library it tries to strip. NO_STRIP=true skips that step. Applied it in the release workflow and documented it for building from source.

Building the AppImage bundle fails on Fedora and Arch-family distros — linuxdeploy ships an old
stripbinary that doesn't understand the.relr.dynELF section a newer glibc/binutils produces, so it errors on every system library:unknown type [0x13] section '.relr.dyn'NO_STRIP=trueskips the strip step and the bundle builds fine. Applied it to the release workflow's Linux job and added a note to the README for anyone building from source.
