The config tool has a "feature" that it wont add/remove hardware
packages. ecosconfig, the CLI tool is more flexiable and will do
this. The other option is to edit the

target linux {
        alias           { "Linux synthetic target" i386linux }
        packages        { CYGPKG_HAL_SYNTH

and just add the serial device driver package.

This is not a package, its a component. Its defined in the
CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL package. Most templates include this package, so all
you need to do is enable the option CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL_DEVICES.
