I'm a little lost about this, because my mental model is that target
async shouldn't really change anything.  I think it is just an
implementation detail about where gdb waits for events -- is it in
wait() or in select()?

So, it would be interesting to learn what the differences are.  Perhaps
this can be patched up.

I'm a little surprised this matters as well, but anyway I think it's
fine to submit a patch like this.  Maybe others have some idea of what's
going on.
