Did you try --target_board=native-extended-gdbserver ?

I couldn't find anything related to this in the gdb bug database, but I assume it is a known problem since the other tests handle it.

Hi.
Still going through the patch series, but have an initial comment.

The following test at the top of each .exp file could be changed to
something like !linux && is_remote, right?

# No exec event support in the remote protocol.
if { [is_remote target] } then {
continue
}

These tests now pass with native-gdbserver (and
native-extended-gdbserver) so we'll want to at least run these tests
with those, I presume.
