Finally, you can run the testsuite (which may take a long time):
@example
cd @var{objdir}; make -k check
@end example
-The testing process will try to test as many components in the GCC

-@samp{WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file}.
-These messages are harmless and do not affect the validity of the tests.
+@samp{WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file} that can be ignored.
@section How can I run the test suite on selected tests?
-As a first possibility to cut down the number of tests that are run it is
-possible to use @samp{make check-gcc} or @samp{make check-g++}
-in the @file{gcc} subdirectory of the object directory. To further cut down the
-tests the following is possible:
+In order to run sets of tests selectively, there are targets
+@samp{make check-gcc} and @samp{make check-g++}
+in the @file{gcc} subdirectory of the object directory. You can also
+just run @samp{make check} in a subdirectory of the object directory.
+
+
+A more selective way to just run all @command{gcc} execute tests in the
+testsuite is to use
@example
make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp @var{other-options}"
@end example
-This will run all @command{gcc} execute tests in the testsuite.
+Likewise, in order to run only the @command{g++} ``old-deja'' tests in
+the testsuite with filenames matching @samp{9805*}, you would use
@example
make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="old-deja.exp=9805* @var{other-options}"
@end example
-This will run the @command{g++} ``old-deja'' tests in the testsuite where the filename
-matches @samp{9805*}.
-
The @file{*.exp} files are located in the testsuite directories of the GCC
source, the most important ones being @file{compile.exp},

+@section Additional testing for Java Class Libraries
+
+The @uref{http://sources.redhat.com/mauve/,,Mauve Project} provides
+a suite of tests for the Java Class Libraries. This suite can be run
+as part of libgcj testing by placing the Mauve tree within the libjava
+testsuite at @file{libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/mauve}, or by
+specifying the location of that tree when invoking @samp{make}, as in
+@samp{make MAUVEDIR=~/mauve check}.
+
+@uref{http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/cvs/jikes/~checkout~/jacks/jacks.html,,Jacks}
+is a free test suite that tests Java compiler front ends. This suite
+can be run as part of libgcj testing by placing the Jacks tree within
+the libjava testsuite at @file{libjava/testsuite/libjava.jacks/jacks}.

@section How to interpret test results
-After the testsuite has run you'll find various @file{*.sum} and @file{*.log}
+The result of running the testsuite are various @file{*.sum} and @file{*.log}
files in the testsuite subdirectories. The @file{*.log} files contain a

+When installing cross-compilers, GCC's executables
+are not only installed into @file{@var{bindir}}, that
+is, @file{@var{exec-prefix}/bin}, but additionally into
+@file{@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin}, if that directory
+exists. Typically, such @dfn{tooldirs} hold target-specific
+binutils, including assembler and linker.
+
+Installation into a temporary staging area or into a @command{chroot}
+jail can be achieved with the command
+
+@example
+make DESTDIR=@var{path-to-rootdir} install
+@end example
+
+@noindent where @var{path-to-rootdir} is the absolute path of
+a directory relative to which all installation paths will be
+interpreted. Note that the directory specified by @code{DESTDIR}
+need not exist yet; it will be created if necessary.
+
+There is a subtle point with tooldirs and @code{DESTDIR}:
+If you relocate a cross-compiler installation with
+e.g.@: @samp{DESTDIR=@var{rootdir}}, then the directory
+@file{@var{rootdir}/@var{exec-prefix}/@var{target-alias}/bin} will
+be filled with duplicated GCC executables only if it already exists,
+it will not be created otherwise. This is regarded as a feature,
+not as a bug, because it gives slightly more control to the packagers
+using the @code{DESTDIR} feature.

+GCC 3.3 and later support weak symbols on the 32-bit port using SOM
+secondary definition symbols. This feature is not enabled for earlier
+versions of HP-UX since there have been bugs in the linker support for
+secondary symbols. The HP linker patches @code{PHSS_26559} and
+@code{PHSS_24304} for HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11, respectively, correct the
+problem of linker core dumps creating C++ libraries. Earlier patches
+may work but they have not been tested.
+
+GCC 3.3 nows uses the ELF DT_INIT_ARRAY and DT_FINI_ARRAY capability
+to run initializers and finalizers on the 64-bit port. The feature
+requires CVS binutils as of January 2, 2003, or a subsequent release
+to correct a problem arising from HP's non-standard use of the .init
+and .fini sections. The 32-bit port uses the linker @option{+init}
+and @option{+fini} options. As with the support for secondary symbols,
+there have been bugs in the order in which these options are executed
+by the HP linker. So, again a recent linker patch is recommended.
+
+The HP assembler has many limitations and is not recommended for either
+the 32 or 64-bit ports. For example, it does not support weak symbols
+or alias definitions. As a result, explicit template instantiations
+are required when using C++. You also can't generate debugging information
+when using the HP assembler. Either the HP or GNU linker can be used
+with the 64-bit port but it may be necessary to use the GNU linker
+when dwarf2 exception support is implemented.
+
+There are several possible approaches to building the distribution.
+Binutils can be built first using the HP tools. Then, the GCC
+distribution can be built. The second approach is to build GCC
+first using the HP tools, then build binutils, then rebuild GCC.
+There have been problems with various binary distributions, so
+it is best not to start from a binary distribution.
+
+When starting with a HP compiler, it is preferable to use the ANSI
+compiler as the bundled compiler only supports traditional C.
+Bootstrapping with the bundled compiler is tested infrequently and
+problems often arise because of the subtle differences in semantics
+between traditional and ISO C.

+Support for VxWorks is in flux. At present GCC supports @emph{only} the

+We welcome patches for other architectures supported by VxWorks 5.5.

+a matter of writing an appropriate ``configlette'' (see below). We are
+not interested in supporting older, a.out or COFF-based, versions of
+VxWorks in GCC 3.
+
+VxWorks comes with an older version of GCC installed in
+@file{@var{$WIND_BASE}/host}; we recommend you do not overwrite it.
+Choose an installation @var{prefix} entirely outside @var{$WIND_BASE}.
+Before running @command{configure}, create the directories @file{@var{prefix}}
+and @file{@var{prefix}/bin}. Link or copy the appropriate assembler,
+linker, etc. into @file{@var{prefix}/bin}, and set your @var{PATH} to
+include that directory while running both @command{configure} and
+@command{make}.
+
+You must give @command{configure} the
+@option{--with-headers=@var{$WIND_BASE}/target/h} switch so that it can
+find the VxWorks system headers. Since VxWorks is a cross compilation
+target only, you must also specify @option{--target=@var{target}}.
+@command{configure} will attempt to create the directory
+@file{@var{prefix}/@var{target}/sys-include} and copy files into it;
+make sure the user running @command{configure} has sufficient privilege
+to do so.
+
+GCC's exception handling runtime requires a special ``configlette''
+module, @file{contrib/gthr_supp_vxw_5x.c}. Follow the instructions in
+that file to add the module to your kernel build. (Future versions of
+VxWorks will incorporate this module.)
