Hi,
I'm looking at gdb.base/fileio.exp testcase. What gdb feature does it test? It's more a kind of
test for open/read/write/ etc. syscalls isn't it? Does it make sense to have it in
a testsuite for gdb? Maybe I'm overlooking s.th. ?

It tests GDB's emulation of file I/O activities for some remote
targets. See "File-I/O remote protocol extension" in the manual.
If you're noticing that it fails on gdbserver, add "set_board_info
gdb,nofileio 1" to your board file; the feature doesn't apply for all
remote targets.
