Not sure if a bug, or more of a Feature Request to either add special numpy strip support, or adding a flag similar to --upx-exclude
I've made sure to pass --noupx and disabled my manual upx compression to isolate the issue to the --strip flag.
Builds on my local machine (Kubuntu 26.04) work perfectly fine, but downloading a build from my CI (GitHub Ubuntu 22.04) surprisingly results in the following issue when starting:
OpenCV bindings requires "numpy" package.
Install it via command:
pip install numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libscipy_openblas64_-8fb3d286.so: ELF load command address/offset not page-aligned
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!
Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.
We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:
https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html
Please note and check the following:
* The Python version is: Python3.14 from "/tmp/.mount_AutoSpWPhsRo/AppRun"
* The NumPy version is: "2.3.2"
and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.
Original error was: libscipy_openblas64_-8fb3d286.so: ELF load command address/offset not page-aligned

[PYI-213660:ERROR] Failed to execute script 'AutoSplit' due to unhandled exception!Describe the solution you'd like
Some way for --strip to just work without manual file copy workarounds. (exclude flag or contrib hook?)
Describe alternatives you've considered
I end up manually re-copying the broken numpy.libs after running pyinstaller with --strip --onedir. This obviously wouldn't work in --onefile.
# PyInstaller's --strip breaks ELF load command alignment in all of numpy's vendored libs.
# Restore all original unstripped libraries from site-packages.
$numpyLibsSrc = uv run --active python -c "import numpy, pathlib; print(pathlib.Path(numpy.__file__).parent.parent / 'numpy.libs')"
if (Test-Path $numpyLibsSrc) {
Copy-Item -Path "$numpyLibsSrc/*" -Destination 'build/AppDir/_internal/numpy.libs/' -Force
}Additional context
For reproducibility, here's an exact commit with UPX disables, --strip enabled, and workaround in my build script:
