Failure in nightly CI: ELF load command address/offset not properly aligned

[SeanCurtis-TRI]

What happened?

As of the night of April 23, 2023, linux-focal-unprovisioned-gcc-wheel-nightly-release is failing with the following complaint:

ImportError: libtbb-fb00472a.so.12.6: ELF load command address/offset not properly aligned

Leading to failure of Executing test tests/pyi-install-test.py.

The error persisted across a retriggered build. Presumably, some system package upgrade has moved out from under us. We need to scrub through the logs to see what is different from the 22nd.

Band-aid in #19262, historical PR reference in #18163 (switch from build from source to pip).

Relates: mayeut/patchelf-pypi#87, NixOS/patchelf#492

Anticipated: after triage patchelf team will likely have a new release out fairly soon since this is probably breaking a lot of wheel builds, so would prefer to keep this open and eventually pin it to a newer release.
