For reasons that I can't possibly begin to understand, building Mesos fails on the most recent AWS Linux AMIs. However, if you use ami-41814f28 (and older 64-bit AMI), it builds fine.
I made the mistake yesterday of switching to their new AMI and had lots of problems, which I first mistakenly attributed to Mesos. My apologies ... I'll be taking up the issue with Amazon and I'll report back when I find something out. Jim
