What is the use case for changing the behavior?

As you can see in your log, you do not have vcd2vpd installed.

Based on the information you provided, it appears that the command make -j2 run-asm-tests-debug is encountering an error related to the vcd2vpd command not being found.

To address this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Ensure that the vcd2vpd command is installed on your system. You can do this by running which vcd2vpd in the terminal. If the command is not found, you may need to install it.

2. If vcd2vpd is not installed, you can typically find it in the Verilator package. Install Verilator using the appropriate package manager for your system.

3. After installing Verilator, make sure the installation directory is included in your system's PATH environment variable.

4. Once you have verified that vcd2vpd is installed and accessible, try running the make -j2 run-asm-tests-debug command again.
