I found this bug:

Which seems to imply that maybe this java-rmi.cgi file doesn't belong in the
"bin" directory at all?
But it also seems to me that the current:
91 ifneq ($(ARCH_DATA_MODEL), 32)
92 build: stubs
93 else # ARCH_DATA_MODEL
94 build: stubs bin
95 endif
Should have been:
91 ifneq ($(PLATFORM)-$(ARCH_DATA_MODEL), solaris-32)
92 build: stubs
93 else # ARCH_DATA_MODEL
94 build: stubs bin
95 endif
Only Solaris does the 32bit and 64bit builds in a way that demonstrated the
original issue for 4495986.
So my question is? Well questions are...
Q1: What the heck is java-rmi.cgi and what is it used for?
Q2: Does it belong somewhere other than the bin directory?
The script can be used to tunnel RMI calls over HTTP. Probably legacy
now and I'm pretty sure that java-rmi.cgi is just meant to be an example
script. The RMI FAQ provides servlet based example. I've cc'ed Peter
Jones and he might be able to fill us in a bit on the history and
whether it really needs to be in the bin directory (I suspect not).
