We have to set it ourself, unfortunately. I had one test case working
fine, but got gdb hanging on some other.

The attached patch works around the blocking issues, and more extensively
tested. OK?

        Pass stderr of program run with "target remote |"
        via gdb_stderr.
        * serial.c (serial_open): Set error_fd to -1.
        * serial.h (struct serial): New field error_fd.
        * ser-pipe.c (pipe_open): Create another pair
        of sockets.  Pass stderr to gdb.
        * ser-mingw.c (pipe_windows_open): Pass
        PEX_STDERR_TO_PIPE to pex_run.  Initialize
        sd->error_fd.
        * ser-base.c (generic_readchar): Check if there's
        anything in stderr channel and route that to gdb_stderr.
