Installing three packages just for testing 34 purposes may seem like overkill, but it is very reassuring, if not essential, 35 to know that our most important tools are working properly. Even if the 36 the test suites are not run in this chapter (we recommend not running them), 37 these packages are still required to run the test suites in the next 38 chapter.</para> 32 <para>This package and the next two (Expect and DejaGNU) 33 are 34 installed to support running the test suites for GCC and Binutils. 35 Installing three packages for testing purposes may seem excessive, but 36 it is very reassuring, if not essential, to know that the most 37 important tools are working properly.

However, the Tcl test suite is known 51 to experience failures under certain host conditions that are not fully 52 understood. Therefore, test suite failures here are not surprising, and are not 53 considered critical. The <parameter>TZ=UTC</parameter> parameter sets the time 54 zone to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) also known as Greenwich Mean Time 55 (GMT), but only for the duration of the test suite run. This ensures the clock 56 tests are exercised correctly. More information on the TZ environment variable 57 will be given later on in <xref linkend="chapter-bootscripts"/>.</para> 51 <para>To test the results, issue: <userinput>TZ=UTC make 52 test</userinput>.
