The /dev/ttyS0 above is the host serial port.  The -serial says
attach attach the serial port COM1 on the target simulator
PC to the specified device.  So you are attaching the virtual
COM1 to the real serial port on the host /dev/ttyS0. Is that
what you intend to do?

FWIW COM1 --> /dev/ttyS1
COM2 --> /dev/ttyS2

on the RTEMS target.
