In that case:
echo "0" >/proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield-randomize
perl -pi -e 's/PRELINK_OPTS=-mR/PRELINK_OPTS="-mR --no-exec-shield"/' \
  /etc/sysconfig/prelink
touch /var/lib/misc/prelink.force
/etc/cron.daily/prelink

On prelinked system, turning off exec shield randomization will help
you only a little bit, you need to tell prelink to put libraries
at  0x40000000 .. 0x50000000 addresses.

/proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield shouldn't make a difference I think,
as the JDK certainly doesn't have PT_GNU_STACK program header entry.
