Oh.  Can you remind me why gdb wouldn't be grabbing the unwind table
from the ELF binary instead?  You don't drag the debug info over the
remote link either, right?

Because it may not have the elf binary (at least not locally), and it may not have debug info. People still expect GDB to do something reasonable in those cases.
