No, you don't need it, but it doesn't hurt either.

By default, sid will configure itself to provide a
simulation for processor architectures it supports.  If
you supply "--target=arm-elf", sid will configure itself
to support just that single target and disable the others.
This means that the resulting sid tree would be somewhat
smaller and somewhat faster to build, but less functional.
