56The following steps will build and test the simulator. The variable
57"$top" refers to the top directory where you've unpacked the files,
58i.e., the one containing the m5, m5-test, and ext directories. If you
59have a multiprocessor system, you should give scons a "-j N" argument (like
60make) to run N jobs in parallel.

67The tests should end with "finished do-tests successfully!"
68Note: if you're running under Cygwin, several tests will fail with an
69"EIO trace inconsistency: ICNT mismatch" error. This is due to the
70lack of fesetround() under Cygwin causing differences in floating-point
