-      To test the results, issue:
+      Running the tests is not recommended.  The results vary a lot depending
+      on the system architecture and what optional dependencies are installed
+      and what version of gcc is being used.  On one system tested, there were
+      140 unexpected failures (out of over 108,000 tests) and on another system
+      there were "only" 32 unexpected failures.  The time to run the tests
+      varies from approximately 6 SBU to over 15 SBU when using -j8.  This depends 
+      on number of tests that time out as will as other factors.

+         With a plain <command>make check</command>, there are many warning
+         messages about a missing global configuration file.  These can be
+         avoided by running <command>touch global.exp</command> and prepending
+         the <command>make check</command> command with
+         <command>DEJAGNU=$PWD/global.exp</command>.  In addition the tests can
+         be speeded up considerably by using the <command>make</command> option
