To test the interpreter that you have just built, type "make test".

This runs the test set silently, twice (once with no compiled files,

once with the compiled files left by the previous test run). Each

This runs the test set twice (once with no compiled files, once with

you want to test those modules, edit Modules/Setup to configure them).

If a messages is printed about a failed test or a traceback or core
