Please let's think of another way to do this.  It seems as though the
chain of issues leading to this underscore problem could have been
snipped earlier.

For example #1, you could teach stap to tolerate "-m FOO-BAR" names
(and map them internally to FOO_BAR).

For example #2, in your hand-made testing script, instead of using -m
FOO for test case FOO.stp, you could use any old synthetic identifier,
such as a serial number, or a "-" to "_" converted form.

For example #3, we outlined two more general cross-compilation testing
approaches in a previous email.  Neither requires hand-built 'stap -m
FOO'.
