48 <para os="a">This package and the next two (Expect and DejaGNU) are installed
49 to support running the test suites for GCC and Binutils. Installing
50 three packages for testing purposes may seem excessive, but it is very
51 reassuring, if not essential, to know that the most important tools are
52 working properly. Even if the test suites are not run in this chapter
53 (they are not mandatory), these packages are required to run the test
54 suites in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>.</para>

67 under certain host conditions that are not fully understood.
68 Therefore, test suite failures here are not surprising, and are not
69 considered critical. The <parameter>TZ=UTC</parameter> parameter sets
70 the time zone to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), also known as
71 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), but only for the duration of the test suite
72 run. This ensures that the clock tests are exercised correctly.
