BASEDIR was added by https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-10/msg00587.html
in order to handle the different directory layout in serial testing
and parallel testing. BASEDIR is "gdb.base" in serial testing and is
"outputs/gdb.base/TESTNAME" in parallel testing. However, it doesn't
work if the GDBserver is in remote target, like this,
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=remote-gdbserver-on-localhost foll-vfork.exp foll-exec.exp'
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: continue to first exec catchpoint (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp: exec: vfork and exec child follow, to main bp: continue to bp (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp: exec: vfork child follow, finish after tcatch vfork: finish (the program exited)
FAIL: gdb.base/foll-vfork.exp: exec: vfork relations in info inferiors: continue to bp (the program exited)
these tests fail because the executable can't be found. With target
board native-gdbserver, the program is spawned this way,
spawn ../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2347 /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/foll-vfork
so BASEDIR is correct. However, with target board
remote-gdbserver-on-localhost, the program is spawned
spawn /usr/bin/ssh -l yao localhost /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2346 /scratch/yao/gdb/build-git/x86_64/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/foll-vfork
so BASEDIR (either "gdb.base" or "outputs/gdb.base/TESTNAME") makes no
sense.
I had a fix that pass absolute directory to BASEDIR, but it assumes
that directory structure is the same on build and target, and it
doesn't work in remote host case. The current fix in this patch is
to get the directory from argv[0]. In any case, the program to be
exec'ed is at the same directory with the main program.
Note that these tests do "next N" to let program stop at the desired
line, but it is fragile, because GDB for different targets may skip
function prologue slightly differently, so I replace some of them by
"tbreak on LINE NUMBER and continue".

This patch updates several exec-related tests and some of the library
functions in order to get them running with extended-remote. There were
three changes that were required, as follows:
In gdb.base/foll-exec.exp, use 'clean_start' in place of proc 'zap_session'
to reset the state of the debugger between tests. This sets 'remote
exec-file' to execute the correct binary file in each subsequent test.
In gdb.base/pie-execl.exp, there is an expect statement with an expression
that is used to match output from both gdb and the program under debug.
For the remote target, this had to be split into two expressions, using
$inferior_spawn_id to match the output from the program.
Because I had encountered problems with extended-remote exec events in
non-stop mode in my manual testing, I added non-stop testing to the
non-ldr-exc-[1234].exp tests. In order to set non-stop mode for remote
targets, it is necessary to 'set non-stop on' after gdb has started, but
before it connects to gdbserver. This is done using 'save_vars' to set
non-stop mode in GDBFLAGS, so GDB sets non-stop mode on startup.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/foll-exec.c: Add copyright header. Fix
formatting issues.
* gdb.base/foll-exec.exp (zap_session): Delete proc.
(do_exec_tests): Use clean_restart in place of zap_session,
and for test initialization. Fix formatting issues. Use
fail in place of perror.
* gdb.base/pie-execl.exp (main): Use 'inferior_spawn_id' in
an expect statement to match an expression with output from
the program under debug.
* gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-1.exp (do_test, main): Add
non-stop tests and pass stop mode argument to clean_restart.
Use save_vars to enable non-stop in GDBFLAGS.
* gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-2.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-3.exp: Likewise.
* gdb.threads/non-ldr-exc-4.exp: Likewise.
Remove literal line numbers from the regexps in foll-exec.exp. Add
appropriate eye-catchers to foll-exec.c and execd-proc.c and refer to
those instead.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.base/execd-prog.c: Add eye-catchers.
* gdb.base/foll-exec.c: Likewise.
* gdb.base/foll-exec.exp: Refer to eye-catchers instead of literal
line numbers.
A few tests run an inferior that execs some other program. The name
of this exec'd program is compiled in. These tests assume the current
test suite directory layout, but fail in parallel mode.
This patch fixes these tests by letting the .exp files pass in the
directory names at compile time.
