This is definitely confusing: synthesis isn't involved during placement (and
routing). Moreover, graywolf (differently from TimberWolf) doesn't have
routing algorithms at all.
Maybe:

Yes that sounds good.
I'm ok with this too.
It is a fork of the last open-source version of TimberWolf (which is
now commercial software) and has been modified to streamline the build
process and make it behave more as a standard command-line tool.
It is based on the general combinatorial optimization technique known
as simulated annealing and is suitable for standard cell, macro/custom
cell, and gate-array professional-grade placement.

This part is ok, I think.
Is there anything simple that can be done about all the "format
specifies
type 'int' but the a rgument has type 'INT' (aka 'long') [-Wformat]"
warnings during build?
Hope someone with more experience than me can answer to this point,
nonetheless I'll have a look.
It looks like inconsistent use of format strings.
WRKSRC/src/Ylib/queue.c:122 has this, for example
#if SIZEOF_VOID_P == 64
fprintf( stderr,"%ld ", (INT)temp->data ) ;
#else
fprintf( stderr,"%d ", (INT)temp->data ) ;
#endif
And other places don't. So I guess it's just a matter of someone going
through it all and making the mechanical changes or convincing upstream
to do this in a more sensible way (maybe with size_t or something).
