jruby dies with fatal error on jdk8-ea-b83 on ubuntu #626
Description
I have previously used jruby with jdk8 ea build's, up to build 80, without problem. However, with build 83, any attempt to run any script with jruby, or to run jirb, it dies immediately with the error attached below. I can get jirb to run if I disable native with jruby -Xnative.enabled=false -S jirb, but otherwise it does this also.
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /home/eric/installs/jruby-1.7.3/lib/native/arm-Linux/libjffi-1.2.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'.
