  This patch is very similar to the one I posted for 
gdb.base/gdbhistsize-history.exp yesterday:

https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-09/msg00355.html

The rationale is the same -- the test manipulates environment variables 
in the .exp script.  When GDB is run on a remote host it doesn't inherit 
those environment variables, so the tests cannot possibly work.

OK to commit?

Yes, I can trigger these fails in remote host testing too.

$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--host_board=local-remote-host-native --target_board=local-remote-host-native HOST_DIR=/tmp/foo/ gdbinit-history.exp"
