arm-elf-sid, etc. are front-end scripts that generate simple
configuration files (ie. nothing particularly customised) and run sid
with on that configuration.

sid is used to run specific configurations, passing it the name of the
configuration file on the command line.  This question comes up a lot
and so there is an FAQ item for it that you might like to browse:
