Subject: [PATCH] fix: set portable interpreter path in Nix build

Release binaries built with Nix have hardcoded Nix store paths for the
dynamic linker, causing them to fail on non-Nix Linux systems with
"No such file or directory" error.

This fix adds patchelf to the Nix build process for cross-compilation
packages (x86_64-linux and aarch64-linux) to set the interpreter path to
standard system locations during the installPhase:
- /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 for x86_64
- /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 for aarch64

This approach is cleaner than adding patchelf as a CI dependency since
patchelf is already available in nixpkgs and the fix is applied at build
time rather than as a post-processing step.

Fixes #15
