Right. So in that case I would push the sched_getaffinity() down into num_processors in gnulib. Whether to drop the --installed (and consequently --available) options to nproc, is debatable. If we leave it in then gnulib would need a method to select between them. Let's leave it selectable for now unless others think it's superfluous. In any case num_processors should return the "available" count by default. cheers, Pádraig.
