It is just interesting, and what the issue was in? Were those virtual
serial ports or USB-to-Serial converters, or ... even all together?  If
your old PC has NIC, use remote shell client on laptop (telnet, ssh) to
interact with GDB on Linux box. IMO, old PC under a desk with the real
serial ports + Linux can be a better choice than laptop + usb-serial
convertors + cygwin.
