yes, interestingly, Anton, in Microwatt, splits up add/sub into its
sub-components:

* add 0, 1, carry
* actual add
* invert / don't bit-invert result (1s complement)

therefore, bit-inversion of the result could, hypothetically, be done
here as well.

i "solved" this one temporarily by removing the XNOR operator and
replacing it with invert (a XOR b)
