I'm not sure what you mean,

As far as I know, selftest uses the just built native GDB to test the 
just built native GDB.  The test being skipped when the just built GDB 
isn't native (it doesn't make sense).  I think GCC should retain the 
test since it is testing GDB against a very large program.
