2332 This class checks to see if prerequisite software is present on the host system
2333 so that users can be notified of potential problems that might affect their build.
2334 The class also performs basic user configuration checks from
2335 the <filename>local.conf</filename> configuration file to
2336 prevent common mistakes that cause build failures.
2337 Distribution policy usually determines whether to include this class.

2398 <para>
2399 Autotools can require tests that must execute on the target hardware.
2400 Since this is not possible in general when cross compiling, site information is
2401 used to provide cached test results so these tests can be skipped over but
2402 still make the correct values available.

2404 contains test results sorted into different categories such as architecture, endianness, and
2405 the <filename>libc</filename> used.
2406 Site information provides a list of files containing data relevant to
2407 the current build in the

2409 that Autotools automatically picks up.
