Test insight with gdbserver

Test insight with gdbserver

[Jie Zhang]

Is there a way to run gdb.gdbtk with gdbserver? It seems to me that 
gdb.gdbtk cannot load program using gdbserver. Is there anything I missed?

If this is supported by gdb, it should work. Can you run gdb's test 
suite with gdbserver as the target? What does your site.exp look like?

I can run gdb's testsuite with gdbserver. But I cannot do the same for 
insight.

It seems that insight-support.exp can only deal with four target types: 
monitor, simulator, sid and native. Neither of them will start gdbserver 
on target machine. It looks to me that gdb.gdbtk sets file by using 
gdbtk_test_file and then uses the gdb commands in info(init), 
info(target), info(load) and info(run) to start test. It does not use 
gdb_load which is used in the other part of gdb testsuite.

Which site.exp do you want to take a look?

I now have a patch which works for me. To contribute it to Insight, is 
there any paper work about copyright I need to do? My code can be 
assigned to FSF. But the copyright line of the file I touch is
