node built with --node-builtin-modules-path not working #5077
Description
Node.js Version
v25.0.0-pre

Subsystem

Description
I'm trying to work on part of nodejs that's only related to lib directory. So I build my binary using:
./configure --ninja --node-builtin-modules-path /usr/node
The build works fine, but the resulting binary doesn't work.
My Environment
I'm running registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8:latest image on arm64 architecture. Here are the dependencies I used to build node. For reference:
dnf install --disableplugin=subscription-manager -y \
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm \
&& dnf update --disableplugin=subscription-manager -y \
&& dnf install --disableplugin=subscription-manager -y \
ccache \
gcc-c++ \
gcc-toolset-12 \
git \
glibc-devel.i686 \
java-17-openjdk-headless \
libatomic.i686 \
libstdc++-devel \
libstdc++-devel.i686 \
make \
python3.12 \
python3.12-setuptools \
procps-ng \
xz My machine is Apple Macbook M1 Pro.
One Weird Thing
If I run any test using tools/test.py it works! I believe this is somehow related to the environment tools/test.py creates. However I've tried with the same env variables and arguments and didn't have luck.
To Reproduce
Minimal Reproduction
docker run -it --platform linux/arm64 -w /usr/node registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8:latest /bin/bash- Install dependencies like above
- git clone https://github.com/anilhelvaci/node.git
- cd node
./configure --ninja --node-builtin-modules-path /usr/node- ./node --help
tools/test.py
- cd node
- tools/test.py -v test/parallel/test-http-client-race.js
Output
