Right now this is only Linux-specific at least in asan/LLVM.

// We can use .preinit_array section on Linux to call sanitizer
initialization
// functions very early in the process startup (unless PIC macro is
defined).
// FIXME: do we have anything like this on Mac?
#if SANITIZER_LINUX && !SANITIZER_ANDROID && !defined(PIC)
# define SANITIZER_CAN_USE_PREINIT_ARRAY 1
#else
# define SANITIZER_CAN_USE_PREINIT_ARRAY 0
#endif

-- lib/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_internal_defs.h

NetBSD needs to use different ways to initialize, like through
interception of a call and during this stage bootstrap initialization
bits. The tricky part is that we cannot initialize a sanitizer before
sufficient libc+libpthread bootstrap and this is my current obstacle
with tsan.

Specifying new LIBASAN_EARLY_SPEC does not fix the "AddressSanitizer can
not provide additional info." problem.
