Two things:
  - DejaGNU assumes that "build" is where tests are being run.
    There's never a need to use remote_file build.  Sometimes
    it is good for consistency, but see the next point.
  - GDB's testsuite assumes that host and build are the same.
    So I don't know if the consistency is worth it unless someone
    cares about separating them.
