+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para><userinput>--with-lib-path=/tools/lib</userinput>: This tells
+the configure script to specify the default library search path. We don't want

+<note><para>It's worth pointing out that running the Binutils test suite here

+<para>Unfortunately, there is no easy way to view the test results summary like
+there was for the previous GCC package. However, if a failure occurs here, it
+should be easy to spot. The output shown will contain something like:</para>
