Thanks for this, Yao.

While using your board file to try to reproduce the failure, I found
that it can stale on:

  (gdb) spawn /usr/bin/ssh -l user localhost
  /path/to/gdb/build-original/gdb/testsuite/../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2346
  /path/to/gdb/build-original/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coredump-filter
  The authenticity of host 'localhost (::1)' can't be established.
  ECDSA key fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
  Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
  got a INT signal, interrupted by user

It also can stale if the user needs to provide a password to log into
the system (which normally is the case).  BTW, how do you use the board
in this case?

*And* it also assumes that the user will have a sshd running on
localhost, which is not always the case, right?

So maybe the board could check for those cases and act accordingly, or
at least the introductory comments on the board file could be extended
to mention those situations.

Cheers,
