Host (GDB Client) --TCP/pipe--> OpenOCD --JTAG--> bare metal
If you're saying that the host should be able to provide binaries
or other data, instead of using $PWD of the OpenOCD server, I'd
tend to agree. It's problematic that it uses $PWD, unless the
OpenOCD "--pipe" option is used to start (and thus GDB and OpenOCD
have the same $PWD).

This is what still makes no sense to me. The target is "bare metal",
and likely has its own notions of what makes a syscall and how its
params get passed.
To handle syscalls ... use a GDB server (or stub) running native
in that OS. Not on bare metal, not talking over JTAG.
