--- Comment #3 from Joel Brobecker <brobecker at gnat dot com> ---
Looks like this was fixed by the following commit:

commit 4e2aa472847923f94b99f138d7fc4c77796f8239

    Restore behavior of disabling address randomization by default on GDBserver

    Commit

      c12a508 ("Add client_state struct.")

    inadvertently changed the default behavior of GDBserver wrt address
    randomization.  The old disable_randomization global variable was
    initialized to 1, whereas the corresponding field in the client_state
    structure is initialized to 0.

    This fixes

      make check TESTS="gdb.base/jit-simple.exp"
RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"
      make check TESTS="gdb.base/execl-update-breakpoints.exp"
RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"

    Note that the execl-update-breakpoints.exp would only fail on systems
    where the toolchain emits position-independent executables by default
    (otherwise the main executable position is never randomized, so the
    value of disable_randomization didn't matter).

    gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

        PR gdb/23374
        PR gdb/23375
        * server.h (struct client_state) <disable_randomization>:
        Initialize to 1.


Not closing just yet, as I believe we want this commit in the gdb-8.2-branch,
and it looks to me like it is not in yet.
