Some packages (like glibc) bring along an automated test suite that |
| 14 |
can be run after compilation to see if the program works correctly. |
| 15 |
If FEATURES="test" is set then an available test suite is being run, |
| 16 |
if it is not set it is being skipped. |

As a normal end user on a desktop this might be considered a waste |
| 19 |
of time, when testing programs on a new architecture this can be |
| 20 |
helpful and should be enabled... |
