- <para>In this chapter, some tests can be adversely affected by
- existing tools or environmental issues on the host system. Glibc test
- suite failures in this chapter are typically not worrisome. The Glibc
- installed in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/> is the one that

- most tests (even in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>, some

- <para>When experiencing a failure, make a note of it, then continue by

- should pick up where it left off and continue. This stop-start sequence
- can be circumvented by issuing a <command>make -k check</command> command.
- If using this option, be sure to log the output so that the log file can
- be examined for failures later.</para>
