But your advice puzzles me all the same. If the test results really don't matter, even when you get a lot of errors, why does the book emphasise the need to carry out these tests for glibc, binutils, gcc and the three gcc libraries? <quote> Important: In this section, the test suite for Glibc is considered critical.
