Bummer. That's not worth it then. Thought it would just be a quick
enablement thing. Thanks for looking.

Yeah that did it! Awesome.

I think we ought to switch to applying the Makefile changes as a patch so
we can see when upstream changes break our expectations it in the future. I
don't see any real harm in just adding this to our patchstack so thats what
I'll do.

I had the meaning of -B wrong. It forces use of archive binaries so this
would install yosys 0.33 instead of what we have just built. I can never
find the right incantation to test exactly what I just built since
autopkgtest default to just rebuilding which is annoying during
development.

Last time I used

    $ autopkgtest $(dcmd --deb echo ../yosys_0.49-1_amd64.changes) . -- schroot chroot:unstable-amd64-sbuild

I just wanted to spare you the dcmd stuff.

Hehe whatever works ;-).
