I am on a Mac (M3) with Sonoma (14.4.1), running Julia v1.10.4 and trying to use PackageCompiler.jl (v2.1.17) with Plots.jl (v1.40.4). Note I get into the same troubles with any other package I am trying to “prepackage”.
Creating a working sys image fails, as the \*.so file is only 16KB and if I try to use it Julia complains that **System image file failed consistency check**.
The creation of the system image returns the following ld warning:
```julia
ld: warning: reexported library with install name '@rpath/libunwind.1.dylib' found at '/Users/myusernamehere/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.10.4+0.aarch64.apple.darwin14/lib/julia/libunwind.1.0.dylib' couldn't be matched with any parent library and will be linked directly
```
Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Can you give us a reproducible MWE?

```julia
using PackageCompiler
create_sysimage(["Plots"], sysimage_path="sys_myimage.so", include_transitive_dependencies=false, precompile_execution_file="myfile.jl")
```
(note: with or w/o `include_transitive_dependencies=false` the result is the same)
with myfile.jl containing
```julia
using Plots
x = 1:10:100
y = sin.(x)
plot(x,y, show=true)
```
I even tried to add to the my file.jl the initial line `ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = ""` but did not make any difference.
The resulting image is 16KB in size (i.e. suspiciously small) and `julia --sysimage ./sys_myimage.so` returns an error:
```Julia
ERROR: System image file failed consistency check: maybe opened the wrong version?
```

The exact same command does work, when run on a Google Colab [notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1RsJnSC6jtNJdPWSKyUjeM1EW9ql3-sFH?usp=sharing).
