I do not think it is our job to "fix" partially-implemented OS features.
This patch would take us in a very troubling direction, and it's not clear
that we would ever be able to remove this hack. Please try to find another
way to get the result you desire. If the sanitizers + FreeBSD 9.2 needs
some patch to be applied to the system headers, then that patch should be
provided by FreeBSD or possibly by the sanitizers, and *not* by the
compiler.
