checking with nm is only good enough for saying "here is a case where you must bump major" to short-circuit other checking. it can't tell you that something is safe not to bump. it would be very nice if somebody could add some quick notes on how to use abi-compliance-checker to www/faq/ports/specialtopics.html :)
