Thanks! This looks like a good idea. Only the directory handling needs some modification. This version tries to load "test-support/jtreg_test_jdk_java_lang_RuntimeTests_loadLibrary_aix/scratch/0/native/libawt_headless.so", but it should load "test-support/jtreg_test_jdk_java_lang_RuntimeTests_loadLibrary_aix/java/lang/RuntimeTests/loadLibrary/aix/AIXLoadLibraryDriver/native/libfoobar.a".
