The testcase runs gdbserver (even in gdbserver mode) so it has control over
argv[0].  The testcase PASSes for me both with gdbserver and with gdbserver in
extended mode running on localhost (Fedora Rawhide x86_64).

If one runs gdbserver on remote host with different filesystem I believe the
testcase still should work as I test there only the latest filename component
(and latest directory component).

Could you post your FAIL gdb.log or do you have just theoretical objectives?


Thanks,
