Because build tool job is building, not checking.
It would be wrong to make (slow) checks mandatory in all builds.

The need is to enforce checking ABI.
The result is already published by Travis in patchwork and in an
email to the author I believe.
Not checking email and patchwork is not a good excuse.

Patchwork must be a mandatory read for everybody for all checks
in general. Let's not give up on general CI workflow.
