check-abi.sh appears to be backward step in terms of usability.

With validate-abi.sh I do can do a "validate-abi.sh HEAD~1 HEAD".
And it will do the build, install, dump and comparison for me. 
And it picked up my 20.0.2 - > 21.0 changes no problem. 

With check-abi on the other hand, I need to the build and install myself.
check-abi requires dump files, but I see no reference in the documentation to how these are created.
It silently fails when it doesn't find any ...

Do I run abi-dumper on the so's myself, or how does it work?
