Thank you for your response. I am trying to write some tests
for GUPC that have two modes of compilation: static and dynamic. In
static environment you specify number of threads you want to run in
compile time, while in dynamic you specify it when you run the
program (prog -n4 args). We have to test both modes and I was thinking
of checking the compile arguments and passing -n4 to _load procedure
for dynamic case. It could be that I can accomplish this with a new
target in dejagnu.

I tried defining upc_load() procedure (the same way gnat_load() is defined)
and possible add all the necessary code to it, but was not successful in
dejagnu calling it.
