In modern Linux e.g. Fedora 25, executables are built as DSO for security [1].
java command in OpenJDK which is provided by distribution is also DSO.
However, SA does not work with DSO executables.

Currently, OpenJDK 8 in Fedora 25 is built as DSO.
So I want to contribute this patch to jdk8u.


I'm not a committer of jdk8u. So I need a sponsor.


Thanks,

Yasumasa
