Thanks Pravin! I think the missing step is to get these scripts checked into
glibc's script/ directory so that we have them in a central location with some
internal comments showing how to run the script. This way we can re-run them at
later stages to verify what's missing and stay in sync (say the release manager
runs it before a release).

Eventually we want a documented process here:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Regeneration

Even if it's just "Run this script. Fix all warnings by hand" it would be a
good start.
