If the copyright holder for your code has already completed the

does not need to be completed again.
Debugging
=========
This describes how to test libgo when built as part of gccgo.
To test a specific package, cd to the libgo build directory
(TARGET/libgo) and run `make PKG/check`. For example, `make
bytes/check`.
To see the exact commands that it runs, including how the compiler is
invoked, run `make GOTESTFLAGS=--trace bytes/check`. This will
display the commands if the test fails. If the test passes, the
commands and other output will be visible in a file named
check-testlog in a subdirectory with the name of the package being
checked. In the case of bytes/check, this will create
bytes/check-testlog.
To leave the test program behind, run `make GOTESTFLAGS=--keep
bytes/check`. That will leave a gotestNNNN/test directory in the
libgo build directory. In that directory you can run
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../.libs ./a.out -test.short` to run the tests.
You can run specific failing tests using a -test.run option. You can
see the tests being run with the -test.v option. You can run the
program under a debugger such as gdb.
