Description

When compiling a binary using "Bun build --compile", it seems that the resulting binary does not contain the "binary" of Sharp. It still tries to load it from ./node_modules. If I copy the node_modules directory together with the resulting binary from "Bun build", it runs without issues. I am not sure if this is an issue with "Bun build" or with Sharp, but other node-related binaries from node_modules are working for me.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with Bun build --compile and Sharp, comparing the compiled binary's behavior with and without the node_modules directory. Investigate whether the missing Sharp binary belongs to Bun's compilation process or Sharp's packaging, and consider the issue done when the compiled binary runs without requiring node_modules.
