That's the goal, not the actual testing algorithm. I asked about the
latter. How do you intend to test that a dump succeeded (assuming
there's no crash)?

Don't we have Lisp objects that cannot be dumped? If we do, then not
every library could be dumped even in principle.
Another potential issue with this is (assuming you suggest to actually
try dumping every library) that it will take too long, and thus will
be likely to be skipped in any "normal" run of the test suite, thus
missing the point.
