Hi Christian,

Your patch overrides the methods defined in config/gdbserver-base.exp, which
themselves override the default methods from Dejagnu to do various operations
on files.

I think that the methods in gdbserver-base.exp were needed back when the
gdbserver boards (at least native-gdbserver.exp) were considered as "remote" by
Dejagnu.  These methods were probably added to prevent Dejagnu trying to
ssh/rsh into the target machine (which is localhost).

However, these boards were recently all made non-remote from the point of view
of Dejagnu.  I am therefore not sure the methods in gdbserver-base.exp are
still needed, and I suspect we could remove them.  Because the boards are
non-remote, the default behavior of Dejagnu will be to use local file
operations (same as the unix.exp target board).

Simon
