[PATCH v1 2/6] configure: gate our use of GDB to 8.3.1 or above

[Alex Bennée]

Certain earlier versions of GDB have (possibly distro) derived issues
when running against multiarch guests. Also given the problem of
clashing ports it is preferable to use socket comms rather than TCP
ports for testing.
