As the option says, you have to give "--save-temps" an argument
to specify where the sid configuration file should be written to.

In general, a GLOSS sid component emulates the system call / OS layer
by intercepting CPUs' trap instructions.  Such a component should be
configured into the simulation in order for it to run "hosted" C
programs that use stdio, argv[], and so on.  If the "--board=MM_.."
does not already have it, you may have to add the sid "--gloss"
option, if that is a supported configuration for the MM* (mep)?
family.

For "GLOSS-COMPONENT" in my command line example, substitute the
reference name of the gloss component instance that you will find in
the sid configuration file, the one hooked up to the CPU.
