The compilation process takes several hours even on fast hardware.
Expect at least two hours for the default configuration on i586 for
Linux. For Hurd times are much longer. Except for EGCS 1.1 and GCC
2.95 (and later versions of GCC), all supported versions of GCC have a
problem which causes them to take several minutes to compile certain
files in the iconvdata directory. Do not panic if the compiler appears
to hang.

If you want to run a parallel make, you can't just give @code{make} the
@samp{-j} option, because it won't be passed down to the sub-makes.
Instead, edit the generated @file{Makefile} and uncomment the line
@smallexample
# PARALLELMFLAGS = -j 4
@end smallexample
@noindent
You can change the @samp{4} to some other number as appropriate for
your system. Instead of changing the @file{Makefile}, you could give
this option directly to @code{make} and call it as, for example,
@code{make PARALLELMFLAGS=-j4}. If you're building in the source
directory, you must use the latter approach since in this case no
new @file{Makefile} is generated for you to change.
If you want to run a parallel make, simply pass the @samp{-j} option
with an appropriate numeric parameter to @code{make}. You need a recent
GNU @code{make} version, though.
To build and run test programs which exercise some of the library
facilities, type @code{make check}. If it does not complete

they are not being run by @code{root}. We recommend you compile and

Before reporting bugs make sure there is no problem with your system.
The tests (and later installation) uses some pre-existing files of the
system such as @file{/etc/passwd}, @file{/etc/nsswitch.conf} and others.
These files must all contain correct and sensible content.
To format the @cite{GNU C Library Reference Manual} for printing, type
@w{@code{make dvi}}. You need a working @TeX{} installation to do this.
