13 <para>Most packages provide a test suite, usually a script or
14 <command>make</command> target, which tests the just-compiled programs or
15 libraries by executing or linking to them. Test suites are often useful
16 for verifying that a package compiled correctly. However, they cannot
17 be run while cross-compiling so we will not mention test suite commands
18 for any packages until <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>.</para>
