102 <para>The combined effect of these switches is that Glibc's build system

200 <para>At this point, it is imperative to stop and ensure that the basic

227 <note><para>Building packages in the next chapter will serve as an
228 additional check that the toolchain has been built properly. If some

231 previous Binutils, GCC, or Glibc installations.</para></note>
