But ubsan is a new feature in 4.9, and it is a bootstrap failure with that
feature.

This is for the host libiberty only, and only when gcc is configured a
certain way.  The intent is to have libiberty that is going to be
linked into all the build and host tools instrumented, so that we actually
catch bugs in libiberty or bugs in host/build tools calling libiberty
functions as much as possible, but for the lto-plugin, which is dlopened
by the linker which we don't have a control on, we need host libiberty without
the address sanitization because otherwise it would only work properly if
the linker itself has been address sanitized.
