Ah, you are right -- we have a local patch that hacks 
gdb_gnu_strip_debug to DTRT and adds the remote-host copy code to 
gdb.base/sepdebug.exp.

I'll withdraw this patch since we clearly need to merge it with the 
other unsubmitted changes.  Or, a simpler but less useful change would 
be do disable all the tests that depend on separate debug information in 
remote-host testing.
