Urgency: Standard

General Description:
You might receive the following warning from Design Compiler after synthesizing a design:

"Warning: Can't find the architecture 'xdw_<design_ware_mod>(virtex)'
in the library 'xdw_virtex'. (LBR-1)"

or

"Warning: Can't find the design 'XORCY'
in the library 'WORK'. (LBR-1)
Warning: Unable to resolve reference 'XORCY' in 'xdw_sub_4'. (LINK-5)
