make check failure: elf/vismain : Timed out: killed the child process

[Ishikawa]

Thank you for the tips.

Since I use Debian GNU/Linux,
I have downloaded  the binutils from the Debian site.:
(Unstable)
    Package: binutils 2.10.0.26-1

I re-ran the make check scenario.
This time the make check proceeded to completion
(ignoring the math tests.).

I am on the libc-alpha mailing list now.

Thank you again.
