| 18 | <para>This package and the next two are only installed to be able to run the
|
|---|
| 19 | test suites for GCC and Binutils. Installing three packages just for testing
|
|---|
| 20 | purposes may seem like overkill, but it is very reassuring, if not essential,
|
|---|
| 21 | to know that our most important tools are working properly. Even if you are
|
|---|
| 22 | not running the test suites here in this chapter as per our recommendation,
|
|---|
| 23 | these packages are still required for the test suites in the next
|
|---|
| 24 | chapter.</para>

| 35 | <para>As discussed earlier, we don't recommend running the test suites for the
|
|---|
| 36 | temporary tools here in this chapter. If you still want to run the Tcl test
|
|---|
| 37 | suite anyway, the following command will do so. However, you should be aware
|
|---|
| 38 | that the Tcl test suite is sometimes known to experience failures under certain
|
|---|
| 39 | host conditions that are not fully understood. Therefore, test suite failures
|
|---|
| 40 | here are not surprising, but are not considered critical:</para>
