Description

I am trying to start marathon as a docker container using libmesos-1.8.0.so as it's native mesos java library in Alpine 3.9. It fails with error as below:

[2019-06-06 06:00:28,703] INFO Slf4jLogger started 
[2019-06-06 06:00:28,774] INFO Starting Marathon 
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /usr/local/lib/libmesos-1.8.0.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.

 When the same thing was tried with Mesos1.6 and Mesos1.7  in the same environment, it worked as expected. Somehow this issue is only seen when I try it with Mesos1.8. 

Tried the recommended fix with execstack, but alpine repo does not have a package for execstack nor **prelink.
