      There's no 64-bit version of awt_robot. The problem is that the 32 and 64-bit
      Solaric Sparc builds both create awt_robot in the same location, and
      the 32-bit version "wins" (it's built last).

      Note that Neal Gafter is working on reorganizing the locations of some
      of the executables: see bugid 4423637. I believe that taking this into
      account, the correct location for the 32-bit awt_robot will remain
      <jdk-home>/bin and <jdk-home>/jre/bin, and the location for the 64-bit
      version will become <jdk-home>/bin/sparcv9 and <jdk-home>/jre/bin/sparcv9.

      But wait... I believe (could be wrong on this) that awt_robot is never
      started directly by the user. If that's the case then the executable
      should appear only in <jdk-home>/jre/bin and <jdk-home>/jre/bin/sparcv9,
      and not under <jdk-home>/bin at all.

        On the Unix systems there's precedent (the jexec command) for placing such
        a binary in the jre/lib/<arch>/ directory. See 4413865.

      There are some installer changes that need to be coordinated
      with this change. The Solaris SVr4 packages, at least, will need
      to be updated. Either do that as part of this fix, or file a separate
      bug under java/installer when the time comes.
