I tried running the test with gdbserver-native, and it failed, because
'set args' doesn't work in server mode (AFAICT).

I grepped through *.exp in search of examples of how to run programs
that require args under gdbserver, but didn't find any.

I want something like

  if {[is_remote host]} {
    spawn gdbserver :2345 exe shlib 1
  } else {
    spawn gdb --args exe shlib 1
  }

Is there a "standard" way to achieve this?

Right. I didn't get that far yet.

Are there instructions for running with gdbserver on different host?
