Ubuntu and fedora systems include it in the package named 'mailx'.

It's not clear from your message which gcc script gave you this error
message.  The only I can think of is contrib/test_summary.  If that
one fails, it's not a problem because it's the one that reports your
testsuite results.

Did you get a build tree or did the whole build fail?

Thanks.  I installed mailx and then `which Mail` succeeded; however,
when I tried:

   Mail -s test cppljevans@suddenline.net

and then just entered a 1 line message followed by
and empty line followed by Ctrl-D.  Nothing
showed in my thunderbird inbox for several minutes.

Any ideas what I should do.  I'm just trying to
submit the test results as instructed by:

   http://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html

Is there come easier way?

TIA.

No.  The about output is what's printed by emacs after
a compile where the compile command is just `which Mail`.
It was just meant to show that I didn't have Mail.

If you run

$ <gcc>/contrib/test_summary > tests.log

you could then mail tests.log to gcc-testresults@gcc.gnu.org using
your mail client application.

The automatic delivery assumes that you have a working mail system.
Configuring it will depend on the OS and/or distribution that you are
running.  But that's outside the scope of this list.
