gives help information related to options mentioned below, please let us
know what is GLOSS-COMPONENT?

The code in sid/main/mainDynamic.cxx does not appear able to pass
simulated command line arguments to the gloss component (the
"command-line" attribute) the same way that the sid/bsp/configrun-sid
perl front-end did.  You may be able to simulate it with the more
general "-e" option, something like this:

./sid -board=mm_MAX -load=hello.x \
     -e 'set GLOSS-COMPONENT command-line -INITTIME'

You'd have to figure out the right GLOSS-COMPONENT name though,
perhaps from a prior run with "--save-temps".
