What's the point of test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/jsig?

[David Holmes]

This was done by:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs/hotspot/rev/a0cdf5e20489

"8144279: [TESTBUG] hotspot/runtime/jsig/Test8017498.sh should use 
native library build support"

I would have to guess the main test file was not hg added for the 
commit. But I can't find the code review for it.

I've filed:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-821104

Thanks,
David
