Done (cfcdb6ec2a).

These scripts are almost trivial: for each not yet checked commit, do git 
checkout, make, and check the result.  The only slightly complex part is 
"for each not yet checked commit": it uses the list of all commits that I 
already checked (currently 21484, in a 860 KB text file), and I'm not sure 
adding that big file to emacs.git would be appropriate.
