Andrew,

yeah, sounds like forcing ilmbase/openexr to be built in statically is way to go...

The ilmbase IlmImf was still in the i386 AppImage and worked for Andrea because it is a virtual system (at least I think so), as opposed to Debian Bullseye (a real system) where the IlmImf so file still cause an immediate crash. The only way I can get rid of it in the build is to manually edit configure.ac and comment it out. On the configure line, I have tried adding --without-openexr --without-ilmbase but it does not get rid of it. Also, tried --without-ilmBase and disable-ilmbase and I just keep getting illegal option. But now I am side-tracked again.

try to delete -dev version of openexr/ilmbase packages from system you build appimage on...?

Question: before I check into GIT the following termux related mods in CONFIGURE.AC, does libbthread need ifdefs around it? It is not causing a problem when I compile, but I don't know what will happen when all of the rest of the libbthread patches are added.
