Just to be clear: if you already require linux or aix targets (as v6
does), then there is no need to *also* require allow_fork_tests -
this will always be true on those platforms.

The point of those "require" statement is exactly that the test will
simply not be run in any GDB cross-platform environment, only with
native tests.  That should address this concern?
