You're right, since these systems are managed separately, I totally forgot
about them and inadvertently reused the same host name for gcc401 :(

You can still access gcc402 (with SSH on port 45062), it's running the
same RISC-V Debian image and /home is also shared with gcc140.

Hopefully we will be able to get physical RISC-V machines at some point,
so these emulated "VMs" will become unnecessary.  Any help in this regard
is welcome.
