    32 <para>This package and the next two are only installed to support running the
    33 test suites for GCC and Binutils. 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>

    49 <para>If you want to test the results, then issue:
    50 <userinput>TZ=UTC make test</userinput>. 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>
