10/24/2020, 1:23 AMah, nevermind. in the yosys.log i found this:

10/24/2020, 8:09 PMthis might have had something to do with low-ish disk space on my PC, though none of the errors suggest as much
aryap
10/24/2020, 8:10 PMi get the same error now on another machine with no space issues
aryap
10/24/2020, 8:22 PMok. i don't think it's space related. it's definitely flakiness. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
aryap
10/24/2020, 8:39 PMhere's the outputs of two runs with the same config, one working, one not. diff of the yosys.log. not clear why there's a divergence
aryap
10/24/2020, 8:45 PMOOOOH is the difference the synth strategy?
aryap
10/24/2020, 8:48 PMomg i think that's it
aryap
10/24/2020, 8:59 PMalso, confusingly, i don't think SYNTH_STRATEGY was getting reset unless i did ./clean_runs.tcl

10/26/2020, 4:41 AMyeah - i didn't think i needed it because it blows away all the old results in most of the subdirs that i've seen
aryap
10/26/2020, 4:42 AMin any case the only real takeaway here is that abc failing with such an obtuse error might be better furnished with a warning to try a different strategy
