I have maintained two SAN/UBSAN builds (one gcc, one clang) for many years
(even though I also happily use Winston's newer/bigger container and
generally recommend its use) and still have GitHub actions build them on a
weekly schedule (as they follow r-devel).
The clang one started to fail a little while ago. I just tried it locally,
and it too blew up in the same spot:
[...]

I assume it shouldn't. But I am also not too familiar with internals of
sysdata and the lazyload format. The Dockerfile is in the repository at
https://github.com/rocker-org/r-devel-san-clang
in case someone else wants to take stab. I may try this on my Ubuntu machine
too in temporary directory.
