Awesome.

These two from gdbserver-base.exp seems to be missing:

# The predefined TSVs in GDBserver.
set_board_info gdb,predefined_tsv "\\\$trace_timestamp"

set GDBFLAGS "${GDBFLAGS} -ex \"set auto-connect-native-target off\""

Guess that ideally we'd move the "native" bits out of gdbserver-base.exp
to a native-gdbserver-base.exp file, and make this new one include
gdbserver-base.exp.  (TBC, it's fine with me to push it in without
doing that first).

Thanks,
