+You can verify that dietlibc was successfully installed on your system
+by entering the following on a bash prompt, f.e.:
+
+printf '#include <unistd.h>\nint main(){write(1,"hello\\n",6);}\n' >_tmp.c
+diet gcc -O2 -s _tmp.c
+./a.out
+
+you should see "hello" printed on screen
+
+"size a.out" entered on prompt should print something like like this: 
+
+text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
+679        8      40     727     2d7 a.out
+
+Please note: You may get strange results on Slackware 13-64 multilib systems,
+(like $ARCH being ignored by dietlibc's make itself).
+Therefore it is recommended to build only on clean (64/32bit) installs.
