It seems to me this is special enough that there is no particular
point in attempting to run this test in remote (or any non-default)
scenarios.  However, we would still need to prevent the test from
being *attempted* in those scenarios.  That should be possible by
using appropriate "require" lines, in particular

require isnative
require ![is_remote target]
require {istarget *-*-aix*}

The last line may be too strict if we also want to test on Linux
or other Unix hosts; but we need to ensure the host is at least
Unixy enough to support fork.  Maybe something like

require allow_fork_tests

would be OK (given that we also require isnative).
