Comment(by matt...@…):
Actually, I'm not going to even bother raising this on -dev :) Here's the
relevant bit of the book, from 4.6:
{{{
Experience has shown that there is little to be gained from running the
test suites in Chapter 5. There can be no escaping the fact that the host
system always exerts some influence on the tests in that chapter, often
causing inexplicable failures. Because the tools built in Chapter 5 are
temporary and eventually discarded, we do not recommend running the test
suites in Chapter 5 for the average reader. The instructions for running
those test suites are provided for the benefit of testers and developers,
but they are strictly optional.}}}
Also, your testsuite patch would mean that the host would need to have
expect, tcl & dejagnu installed so that the chapter 5 toolchain tests can
be run.
