32 | <note><para>It's worth pointing out that running the Binutils test suite here

40 | <para>Unfortunately, there is no easy way to view the test results summary like

41 | there was for the previous GCC package. However, if a failure occurs here, it

42 | should be easy to spot. The output shown will contain something like:</para>

44 | <blockquote><screen>make[1]: *** [check-binutils] Error 2</screen></blockquote>
