The whole way this libsanitizer merge is being handled is
beyond unreasonable.

A build fix being held up for 4 days just proves that requiring things
get merged into LLVM first is completely the wrong way for this stuff
to work.

The people who merged in this library should be responsible for
keeping changes in sync, not the individual developers who fix bugs
and make improvements to this code on the gcc side.

It's lunacy that this build problem is in the tree for 4 days because
of this.
