Motivation for this change

The yosys derivation currently is very hard to override and more complex than it needs to be.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

yosys is designed to be used with a specific pinned version of ABC, so this isn't a good idea unless the ABC package is going to be kept at that same version.

Edit: Ah, I see there's already a check for that in place. Never mind then!

# checkPhase defaults to VERBOSE=y, which gets passed down to abc,
# which then does $(VERBOSE)gcc, which then complains about not
# being able to find ygcc. Life is pain.

Are you sure this is no longer needed? Looks good to me other than that!

Well, we don't build abc in here anymore, but pass it in externally. So we don't need to worry about what was being passed to the vendored abc build. Right? ;-)
