It was discovered that this tool could silently fail if you didn't have the 
right version of binutils installed. I have updated the URL above with Paul's 
latest version. Also most of the bad debs in the debian archive have been 
replaced by new clean ones. So what a few of us have been doing is,

- "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" to get all the latest debs
- run plt-checker
- remove or replace the remaining stuff that's broken

You'll probably want to do something similar.
