Since there is a fair bit of commonality, another way to go is to
begin your file with

load_board_description "native-stdio-gdbserver"

and then add or override the bits you need.
Factoring out bits in native-stdio-gdbserver.exp so that they can be
overridden may be needed.
For proc ${board}_download you could just redefine it in your file
(seems simplest).

I think I'd prefer that if it works for you.
