 i don't know: i think what i had to do is check the path (which is
now defined as including $RISCV), and go and rename "spike" to
"spike.nothanks".

 whoops, unless you have ccache that's going to take time to redo...

 if you get an absolute ton of debug output, you'll know you're
running the libre-sv variant.

 use "whereis" to track down the default version and rename it.

 $ whereis spike

another trick would be to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH={full directory} in
the spike-sv version, then execute with "./spike" instead.
