Yes, but machine A and B are the same one in this case.  The tests are
run three times. Once with just gdb, and then with a target-board set
to either native-gdbserver or native-extended-gdbserver.

The buildbot log stdio should show you the exact settings.

https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/builders/76/builds/446/steps/12/logs/stdio

make -j4 check-gdb 'TESTS= gdb.base/break-always.exp gdb.base/break-caller-line.exp gdb.base/break-entry.exp gdb.base/break.exp gdb.base/break-fun-addr.exp gdb.base/break-idempotent.exp gdb.base/break-include.exp gdb.base/break-inline.exp gdb.base/break-main-file-remove-fail.exp gdb.base/break-on-linker-gcd-function.exp gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp gdb.base/breakpoint-shadow.exp gdb.base/break-probes.exp gdb.gdb/unittest.exp gdb.server/unittest.exp ' 'RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"'

So it is the RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver" that tells
the test to run against the native-gdbserver.

Cheers,
