  27 <para>This package has a test suite available which performs a number of
  28 checks to ensure it will function correctly. It's worth noting that Automake
  29 does not play a critical role in the overall operation of an LFS system. In
  30 addition, the Automake test suite runs for quite a long period of time.
  31 Accordingly, the running of the test suite here is not crucial. Should you
  32 choose to run the Automake test suite, the following command will do
  33 so:</para>
