+Memtest86+ is thorough, stand alone memory test for Intel/AMD x86
+architecture systems. BIOS based memory tests are only a quick check
+and often miss failures that are detected by Memtest86+.
+
+Compilation may fail on 64-bit Slackware due to missing
+/usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h from glibc. If you experience this problem,
+copy that file from stubs-64.h in the same directory (or create a symlink),
+and you may delete your copy/symlink after you have created the package.
+
+See README.SLACKWARE for setup information.
