  Actually that's supported for the remote protocol, it increments the
port if it's already being used.

  GCC testing is easy, there's no protocol to worry about, and QEMU
works fine. GDB testing is much more complicated. While SIM works fine,
I think QEMU is potentially more accurate for validation.
