The problem is not that it's impossible to work around the incorrect

This isn't a bug. Ubuntu has setup GCC with "pie" flag enabled for some
unknown reason, and this causes executable output to be tagged as shared
library.
Use "-no-pie" with GCC when compiling.
If using Qt Creator / QMake add this to your project file
unix:QMAKE_LFLAGS += -no-pie
All will work
This is serious bug and is really counter-productive in 21 century when
downloading some portable archive and cannot launch software, Very
troublesome. This way is one way to scare people back to Windows.
affects 20.10 and 21.04 too, please raise voice people.
