This creates a @file{testsuite} subdirectory that +has various @file{.sum} and @file{.log} files containing the results of +the testing. You can run subsets with, for example, @code{make check-gcc}. +You can specify specific tests by setting RUNTESTFLAGS to be the name +of the @file{.exp} file, optionally followed by (for some tests) an equals +and a file wildcard, like: + +@example +make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="execute.exp=19980413-*" +@end example + +Note that running the testsuite may require additional tools be +installed, such as TCL or dejagnu. + +@item bootstrap +Builds gcc three times---once with the native compiler, once with the +native-built compiler it just built, and once with the compiler it built +the second time. In theory, the last two should produce the same +results, which @code{make compare} can check. Each step of this process +is called a ``stage'', and the results of each stage @var{N} +(@var{N} = 1@dots{}3) are copied to a subdirectory @file{stage@var{N}/}. + +@item bootstrap-lean +Like @code{bootstrap}, except that the various stages are removed once +they're no longer needed. This saves disk space. + +@item bubblestrap +Once bootstrapped, this incrementally rebuilds each of the three stages, +one at a time. It does this by ``bubbling'' the stages up from their +subdirectories, rebuilding them, and copying them back to their +subdirectories. This will allow you to, for example, quickly rebuild a +bootstrapped compiler after changing the sources, without having to do a +full bootstrap. + +@item quickstrap +Rebuilds the most recently built stage. Since each stage requires +special invocation, using this target means you don't have to keep track +of which stage you're on or what invocation that stage needs. + +@item cleanstrap +Removed everything (@code{make clean}) and rebuilds (@code{make bootstrap}). + +@item stage@var{N} (@var{N} = 1@dots{}4) +For each stage, moves the appropriate files to the @file{stage@var{N}} +subdirectory. + +@item unstage@var{N} (@var{N} = 1@dots{}4) +Undoes the corresponding @code{stage@var{N}}. + +@item restage@var{N} (@var{N} = 1@dots{}4) +Undoes the corresponding @code{stage@var{N}} and rebuilds it with the +appropriate flags. + +@item compare +Compares the results of stages 2 and 3.
