Ah, okay, that makes sense. I know we have some special handling for all
the gdb_* file "descriptors". I presume that gdb_stdlog is not handled
by us, though.

You've got two options: hack remote.c in your copy to send output to
gdb_stdout or hack at insight and teach it out to display stdlog. Hmm...
I see in gdbtk/generic/gdbtk-hooks.c that gdbtk_fputs already knows
about stdlog. It calls gdb_tcl_fputs_log, which will send the output to
the console as long as it is open.

Is ::gdbtk_state(console) set when you open the console window? It is
for me, but then that doesn't explain why you're not seeing the output
from stdlog. If you put a debug statement in gdb_tcl_fputs_log, does it
ever get there?
