I still don't follow.

Why can't we just use:

	TEST_COMPARE (flag, PTHREAD_PER_PROCESS_NP);

We only expect flag to be PTHREAD_PER_PROCESS_NP.

If flag is PTHREAD_PER_PROCESS_NP then nothing happens.

If it's not PTHREAD_PER_PROCESS_NP then we record the value
along with a failure, but continue running (and will report
a test failure).
