11 <title>About Test Suites, Again</title>
12
13 <para>In the final-system build, you are no longer cross-compiling so it
14 is possible to run package testsuites. Some test suites are more important
15 than others. For example, the test suites for the core toolchain
16 packages&mdash;GCC, Binutils, and Glibc&mdash;are of the utmost
17 importance due to their central role in a properly functioning system.
18 The test suites for GCC and Glibc can take a very long time to complete,
19 especially on slower hardware, but are strongly recommended.</para>
20
21 <para>A common issue with running the test suites for Binutils and GCC
22 is running out of pseudo terminals (PTYs). This can result in a high
23 number of failing tests. This may happen for several reasons, but the
[33d4b68]24 most likely cause (if you chrooted) is that the host system does not have the
[5da8aa0]25 <systemitem class="filesystem">devpts</systemitem> file system set up
26 correctly. This issue is discussed in greater detail at
[1322a63]27 <ulink url="&faq-root;#no-ptys"/>.</para>
[5da8aa0]28
29 <para>Sometimes package test suites will fail, but for reasons which the
30 developers are aware of and have deemed non-critical. Consult the logs located
31 at <ulink url="&test-results;"/> to verify whether or not these failures are
32 expected. This site is valid for all tests throughout this book.</para>
