I see systemc has been updated to 2.3.4 and made its way to testing, but
I don't see any verilator update yet. Is someone working on this? I'd be
keen to see an update that allows VexRiscv work (what's in testing
allows a basic build, but not the Briey SoC). It sounds like a later
build of 4.x should be doable and I can take a look in a week or so as
long as it's not duplicating effort.
