Before patch
Make native gdbserver boards no longer be "remote" (in DejaGnu terms)
739b3f1d8ff7072dcc66240c25b026c6433bda1a
the local gdbserver boards (except native-extended-gdbserver...) were
considered as remote by DejaGNU. To avoid DejaGNU trying to use
ssh/scp
to download the files to the target (which is actually local), the
gdbserver-base.exp file defined some _download, _upload and _file board
operations to override the default behavior, and instead just use local
operations.
The same patch also changed remote-stdio-gdbserver.exp to make it
inherit from gdbserver-base.exp. Since then, this board (which is
actually remote) uses the overrides with local file operations. As a
result, files are never actually copied to the target.
I think we can simply remove the overrides from gdbserver-base.exp.
Because all boards should be properly considered local or remote by
DejaGNU, it should by default use the right method for transferring
files.
