+Regression Tests
+----------------
+
+GNU Make contains a suite of regression tests. To run them use "make check"
+after building GNU Make. If they fail a tar package will be created
+containing useful information, which can be emailed (as an attachment) to
+the <bug-make@gnu.org> mailing list.
+
+Please note that since these tests rely on known-good-output comparisons,
+they can show spurious failures on some systems (particularly non-POSIX systems
+such as Windows).
