My understanding from the thread discussing fileio.exp:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2003-06/msg00410.html
was that it should work native.  Restricting it to the remote case would 
leave it open to bit rot.

The above indicate that this is true.  The differences are minor syscall 
nuances and can be handled with a bit of testsuite tweaking.
