The test:

runtime/XCheckJniJsig/XCheckJSig.java

still expects to find libraries in the lib/<arch> directory on Linux/Solaris:

      } else {
            env_var = "LD_PRELOAD";
            libjsig = jdk_path + "/jre/lib/" + os_arch + "/libjsig.so"; // jdk location
            if (!(new File(libjsig).exists())) {
                libjsig = jdk_path + "/lib/" + os_arch + "/libjsig.so"; // jre location
            }
        }

but the arch directory was removed from the JRE a long time ago.

The test doesn't fail because it "skips" when the library can't be found:
