I'm sorry. I forgot about the remote debug environment.
The overlay test should work on evaluation boards and
emulators too.

It seems that Linux kernel can't load overlaid programs
into memory because VMA and LMA of overlaid 
sections are different. So overlays.exp is not available on
the Linux.

I revised the patch file. It disables overlays.exp if target is Linux.

Is this OK?
