Hi Michael,
Can you please check the patches I proposed for such a test?
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168262.html
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2020-May/168263.html
Your fix should make this work:
make check TESTS="gdb.base/inferior-args.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
But these two should work as well:
make check TESTS="gdb.base/inferior-args.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix"
make check TESTS="gdb.base/inferior-args.exp" RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-extended-gdbserver"
Simon
