Hi.

Thanks! (And thanks for your interest).

configrun-sid is not run directly (although it can be). There are two
ways to run sid:
sid <conf-file>
(as you have done with i386-gdb.conf).
or via a front-end script which generates a customised configuration file
based on the options you pass to the script on the command line. For
example, see arm-elf-sid --help.

It's not hanging; it is blocked waiting for a connection from GDB.
