There is one more minor thing, I think. The "info inferiors" command
iterates over the list of inferiors and prints their info. One piece of
information is the inferior id, which is printed through the target.
This means that for each inferior, the target of the current inferior is
used, potentially yielding incorrect output. To fix, inferior can be switched
temporarily before printing its id. Please see the patches below for details.
The second one attempts to modify the multi-target.exp test to check correct
output.
Thanks

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Switch the inferior before outputting its id in "info
inferiors"
GDB uses the 'current_top_target' when displaying the description of
an inferior. This leads to same target being used for each inferior
and, in turn, yields incorrect output when the inferior has a target
that is supposed to give a specialized output. For instance, the
remote target outputs "Remote target" instead of "process XYZ" as the
description if the multi-process feature is not supported or turned
off.
E.g.: Suppose we have a native and a remote target, and the native is
the current inferior. The remote target does not support multi-process.
For "info inferiors", we would expect to see:
~~~
(gdb) i inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
* 1 process 29060 1 (native) /a/path
2 Remote target 2 (remote ...)
~~~
but instead we get
~~~
(gdb) i inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
* 1 process 29060 1 (native) /a/path
2 process 42000 2 (remote ...)
~~~
Similarly, if the current inferior is the remote one, we would expect
to see
~~~
(gdb) i inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
1 process 29060 1 (native) /a/path
* 2 Remote target 2 (remote ...)
~~~
but we get
~~~
(gdb) i inferiors
Num Description Connection Executable
* 1 Remote target 1 (native) /a/path
2 Remote target 2 (remote ...)
~~~
With this patch, we switch to the inferior when outputting its
description, so that the current_top_target will be aligned to the
inferior we are displaying.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] testsuite: enhance "info inferiors" test for multi-target
Expand the "info inferiors" test for the multi-target feature. The
test was checking for the output of the info commands after setup,
only when the current inferior is the last added inferior.
This patch does the following:
1. The "info inferiors" and "info connections" test is extracted out
from the "setup" procedure to a separate procedure.
2. The test is enriched to check the output after switching to each
inferior, not just the last one.
3. The test is performed twice; one for when the multi-process feature
is turned on, one for off.
