Pedro had a different way to do this, that keeps the decision under
gdbserver's control:

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2020-02/msg00383.html

Also note that I haven't sent the top-level configury patches upstream
to gcc yet.  I am going to do this all at once, at the end.  I think
there's one more patch that will be needed, once gdbserver depends on
the top-level gdbsupport.
