Maybe the documentation could be improved / extended. As a matter of 
fact, the baselines used for abi_check have been generated using a 
specific locale model and in case a different locale model is selected 
at configure time (or, for that matter, other options are used which 
actually affect the ABI) the abi_check can only fail... I don't think we 
can improve abi_check much from this point of view, maybe the docs...
