This test passes arguments to the inferior using "set args".  This
doesn't work under the native-gdbserver board.  It doesn't appear to
cause a failure though, because the test only verifies that a core dump
is successfully saved, which happens even if the test fails to pass the
argument to the test program.

Nevertheless, use the new -inferior-args option, that feels more
correct.
