No, you must supply the source code that corresponds to the final netlist. Corresponding source means the source from which users can rebuild the same netlist. Part of the idea of open source code is that users should have access to the source code for the deign they use. Those using your version should have access to the source code for your version. If you release an improved version of a GPL-covered design, you must release the improved source code under the GPL.
