+help="Run a glibc test COMMAND on the remote machine HOST, via ssh,
+passing environment variables, preserving the current working directory,
+and respecting quoting.
+
+If the '--ssh SSH' flag is present, use SSH as the SSH command,
+instead of ordinary 'ssh'.
+
+To use this to run glibc tests, invoke the tests as follows:
+
+  $ make test-wrapper='ABSPATH/cross-test-ssh.sh HOST' tests
+
+where ABSPATH is the absolute path to this script, and HOST is the
+name of the machine to connect to via ssh.
+
+If you need to connect to the test machine as a different user, you
+may specify that just as you would to SSH:
+
+  $ make test-wrapper='ABSPATH/cross-test-ssh.sh USER@HOST' tests
+
+Naturally, the remote user must have an appropriate public key, and
+you will want to ensure that SSH does not prompt interactively for a
+password on each connection.
+
+HOST and the build machines (on which 'make check' is being run) must
+share a filesystem; all files needed by the tests must be visible at
+the same paths on both machines.
+
+${progname} runs COMMAND in the same directory on the HOST that
+${progname} itself is run in on the build machine.
+
+The command and arguments are passed to the remote host in a way that
+avoids any further shell substitution or expansion, on the assumption
+that the shell on the build machine has already done them
+appropriately.
+
+${progname} propagates the values all environment variables through to
+the remote target, except the following:
