All bugs reported for previous test releases have been fixed.
Some bugs surely remain.

+For general building and installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
+If you need to build GNU Make and have no other `make' program to use,
+you can use the shell script `build.sh' instead. To do this, first run
+`configure' as described in INSTALL. Then, instead of typing `make' to
+build the program, type `sh build.sh'. This should compile the program
+in the current directory. Then you will have a Make program that you can
+use for `make install', or whatever else.
See the file NEWS for what has changed since previous releases.
GNU Make is fully documented in make.texinfo. See the section entitled
-`Bugs' for information on submitting bug reports.
+`Problems and Bugs' for information on submitting bug reports.
GNU Make is free software. See the file COPYING for copying conditions.
