Apparently, cgi WILL NOT resolve symbolic links to the binary itself
(though directory links are resolved).

What does this mean?

The symbolic link chain that connects DOC_ROOT/cgi-bin/php.cgi to
/MY_SOFTWARE/php/php-cgi can pass through as many links and directories
as you want, but it may only link to the parent directory that contains
the actual php.cgi file.

It /cannot/ link directly to the executable.

I hope that this helps anyone else who may have had this problem.
