Rats, you are right. Or, rather, cool! You are right!
I got my info from:
http://kegel.com/crosstool/current/doc/dejagnu-remote-howto.html
And somehow I got the impression that it was using --host.
Which is just plain wrong; it's all about --target_board.

I'm not happy either way.
I'm working towards a goal where anybody can run the doco; run the test
bed on any configuration supported in the doco; and it always works and
is useful. Like a real computer program!
One very very hard part is figuring out how to co-operate with all
the contributors and still do wrenching infrastructure upgrades.
