Re: [PATCH v2] ld/testsuite: add support for remote testing in ld-cdtest
This patch revises the ld-cdtest testsuite to support remote execution, allowing tests to run on both native and cross-compiled targets. Maciej Rozycki has reviewed the changes, confirming their correctness on powerpc64le-linux-gnu (native) and mips-linux-gnu (remote) cross targets. He identifies a minor nitpick regarding the use of ‘remote_load’ and output handling that needs to be addressed.
