While investigating JBCS-212, I've found out that the issue resides in patchelf side. Patchelf corrupts ELF due to misalignment, D_PAGED flag disappears, thus openssl is being killed due to not being identified correctly as a dynamic executable.
Tried in my local lab to manually patchelf the binary with patchelf version 0.8.1 that currently is being used and latest upstream patchelf version 0.9. With the latest upstream version binary is working as expected and it runs smoothly while with version 0.8 it's not.
Please rebase patchelf to latest 0.9 version.
