+ * README (Board Settings): Document "exit_is_reliable".
+ * lib/gdb.exp (gdb_continue_to_end): Check whether the board says
+ running to exit reliably reports program exits.
+ * boards/native-gdbserver.exp: Set exit_is_reliable in the board
+ info.
+ * boards/native-stdio-gdbserver.exp: Likewise.

+ Set to true if GDB can assume that letting the program run to end
+ reliably results in program exits being reported as such, as opposed
