This is what I was thinking at first ;). It should be possible to extend
path in the testit.sh and write the testpyscripts to look only for
binary from the path.

I originally wrote it on RedHat 9, which is very old ...

This tells, you have unpatched version of simulator, it can not load
bigger binary than 400 bytes. Maybe I have missed something and should
load bigger binaries in 400 bytes junks but my patch allows up to
1000000 bytes binaries.

The easiest is to let the testit.sh script to make one simulator for
you.

I will think about the testit.sh to make the test more flexible for
different locations of library and for different debuggers ...

Best Regards ...
