110 <para>In this section, the test suite for GCC is considered
111 critical. Do not skip it under any circumstance.</para>
112 </important>
113
114 <para>One set of tests in the GCC test suite is known to exhaust the stack,
115 so increase the stack size prior to running the tests:</para>
116
117<screen><userinput remap="test">ulimit -s 32768</userinput></screen>

123 <para>To receive a summary of the test suite results, run:</para>
124
125<screen><userinput remap="test">../gcc-&gcc-version;/contrib/test_summary</userinput></screen>
126
127 <para>For only the summaries, pipe the output through
128 <userinput>grep -A7 Summ</userinput>.</para>
129
130 <para>Results can be compared with those located at <ulink
131 url="&test-results;"/> and <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/"/>.</para>
132
133 <para>A few unexpected failures cannot always be avoided. The GCC developers
134 are usually aware of these issues, but have not resolved them yet. <!-- In
135 particular, the <filename class="libraryfile">libmudflap</filename> tests
136 are known to be particularly problematic as a result of a bug in GCC
137 (<ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20003"/>). -->
138 Unless the test results are vastly different from those at the above URL,
139 it is safe to continue.</para>
140
141 <para>Install the package:</para>
142
143<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>
144
145 <para>Some packages expect the C preprocessor to be installed in the
146 <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> directory.
147 To support those packages, create this symlink:</para>
148
149<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv ../usr/bin/cpp /lib</userinput></screen>
150
151 <para>Many packages use the name <command>cc</command> to call the C
152 compiler. To satisfy those packages, create a symlink:</para>
153
154<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv gcc /usr/bin/cc</userinput></screen>
155
156 <para>Add a compatibility symlink to enable building programs with
157 Link Time Optimization (LTO):</para>
158
159<screen><userinput remap="install">install -v -dm755 /usr/lib/bfd-plugins
160ln -sfv ../../libexec/gcc/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/&gcc-version;/liblto_plugin.so /usr/lib/bfd-plugins/</userinput></screen>
161
162 <para>Now that our final toolchain is in place, it is important to again ensure
163 that compiling and linking will work as expected. We do this by performing
164 the same sanity checks as we did earlier in the chapter:</para>

193
194 <para>Depending on your machine architecture, the above may differ slightly,
195 the difference usually being the name of the directory
196 after <filename class="directory">/usr/lib/gcc</filename>. If your machine is
197 a 64-bit system, you may also see a directory named <filename class="directory">lib64</filename>
198 towards the end of the string. The important thing to
199 look for here is that <command>gcc</command> has found all three
200 <filename>crt*.o</filename> files under the
201 <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> directory.</para>

221
222 <note><para>As of version 4.3.0, GCC now unconditionally installs the
223 <filename>limits.h</filename> file into the private
224 <filename class="directory">include-fixed</filename> directory, and that
225 directory is required to be in place.</para></note>
