It can't, at least not 100% correctly. It's simply automation. The machine
maintainer still has to review, and if you check it in it could still fail,
but it's easier than the manual process I follow now.

Look at the check-localplt changes I made where I *tried* to get the symbols
of __tls_get_addr correct, and failed for at least 3 machines becuase the
ABI was structured in odd ways.

Nothing but trybot is 100% correct.

Cheers,
Carlos.
