That sounds really interesting! I am just in the process of spinning up
a gentoo vm.
Would you mind sharing your ebuild for mesos-0.22.0 via a gist on Github?

Is there anyway to build portable binaries for mesos?
You should try out gentoo linux, everything is built from sources.
Ebuilds guide the process. My (hack) ebuild for mesos-0.22.0 was
61 lines. That's it. I will roll out a 0.24 ebuild, in a few weeks
or less.
Gentoo is designed from the ground up to build form sources. We have
a rich 'cross-compile' environment for things like aarch64; so building
mesos for arm64 is mostly trivial, once the 0.24 ebuild is rolled out.
There a bit of reading, but the gentoo 'devmanual' pretty much guides
you through the process [1]. Gentoo also has a great package manager.
Here is a (very profane) rant/comparison of some common package managers
and their inherent weaknesses [2]. If you want to see how simple the
gentoo ebuild for mesos-0.22 is just ask. It fetches, unpacks, compiles
and installs the package, very neatly. And there is lots of help and
encouragement from a long list of talented devs.
Gentoo is not for the weak minded or folks that do not wish to master
the deep details of linux. caveat emptor. CoreOS uses much of gentoo
in it's build/management, if that option helps.
