jnr-ffi fails LoadLibraryTest pp64el on ubuntu 14.

[bugproxy]

== Comment: #0 - Ralph E. Bellofatto <email address hidden> - 2015-03-15 15:58:44 ==
We are attempt to get jnr-ffi to work on the openPower ppc64el architecture and. After adding the TypeAlias.java file and adding PPC64EL to the Platform.java file we were able to get a clean compile and the tests starting up with out complaining it can't find the TypeAlias file.

However, when we attempt a maven test, they ALL fail. Tracing this, we found that all tests fail during the LoadLibrary section, so we isolated just this test, as all tests do this as their first step.

when we execute we see:

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /tmp/jffi7887071048754543889.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'.
