Option to pass --exclude to auditwheel repair to exclude libEGL (or other libraries)

[HinTak]

Description

auditwheel repair has an --exclude option , apparently. It would be nice to expose this to cibuildwheel usage. The specific use case is libEGL.

The bundled libEGL is what causes the segfault:

kyamagu/skia-python#294

If I download the untested wheel, run patchelf --replace-needed ... in reverse for libEGL, then it works.

What happens, I think, is this: libEGL is a stub/ trampoline library from the libglvnd project to load libEGL_* from GPU vendors or mesa on a per screen basis. It must be next to the vendor's to be useful. Loading a relocated copy means it can't even find the mesa one for typical fallback, therefore it crashes.

You can already override the default repair command with a custom one: https://cibuildwheel.pypa.io/en/stable/options/#repair-wheel-command

Okay, I'll investigate how to exclude livEGL and report.

Thanks. Doing

CIBW_REPAIR_WHEEL_COMMAND_LINUX: "auditwheel repair --exclude libEGL.so.1 -w {dest_dir} {wheel}"

Achieved what I want. Look like a few others would benefit this tip. (Quick look in auditwheel found two).
