We found a solution, do not know quite why we needed to add the extra
environment setup. Compiling as follows:
PATH=/net/fas4045/home3/jq031c/llvm_sandbox/bin:$PATH make -j 16
DEPFILES= CXX=clang++ CC=clang CXXFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory
-fsanitize-memory-track-origins -fno-omit-frame-pointer"
LDXFLAGS=-fsanitize=memory

Runing as follows:
MSAN_SYMBOLIZER_PATH=/net/fas4045/home3/jq031c/llvm_sandbox/bin/llvm-symbolizer
./runtests.sh

We can understand that we need to add the analysis option to the link
flags as we do a two step build of compile followed by link. The
discovery after searching was the need to define the path to llvm-symbolizer with an environment variable which none of the other dynamic analysis options seems to need.
