Richard and Joseph, thanks for the pointers.  I tried Richards change
and it partially fixed the problem.  My board started doing an rsh/ssh
to 'multi-sim' instead of 'multi-sim/-EL' but that command times out
because multi-sim is not a machine that I can rsh/ssh to, it is just the
name of my dejagnu baseboard.  Looking around some more I found sim.exp
in dejagnu (which I include in my board) and I see it has overrides for
load, upload, and download but no override for exec.  I added this to
config/sim.exp:

proc sim_exec { dest srcfile args } {
    return [remote_exec host $srcfile $args]
}

to match the sim_upload and sim_download definitions and things seem to
work now.  In fact, now that I have this change to sim.exp I no longer
need to set hostname in multi-sim.exp.

I will submit the config/sim.exp patch to the dejagnu mailing list later
today.
