| 35 | <para os="f">It is imperative at this point to stop and ensure that |
---|
| 36 | the basic functions (compiling and linking) of the adjusted toolchain |
---|
| 37 | are working as expected. To do this, perform a sanity |
---|
| 38 | check:</para> |

| 45 | and the output of the last command will be:</para> |

| 52 | <para os="k">If the output does not appear as shown above or is not received |
---|
| 53 | at all, then something is seriously wrong. Investigate and retrace the |
---|
| 54 | steps to find out where the problem is and correct it. The most likely |
---|
| 55 | reason is that something went wrong with the specs file amendment |
---|
| 56 | above. Any issues will need to be resolved before continuing on with |
---|
| 57 | the process.</para> |
