Woot! Compiling RT as we speak... :)

Interesting, "ninja runtimes-configure" wants to build the whole
thing... Is that because you use the just-built clang to build the
multiple targets for each runtime?

What's the CMake variable to enable RT for ARM, even though I'm
running on x86_64?

It does seem awkward. I don't know CMake well enough to know what's
the problem, much less how to fix it, sorry. :(

In pure Make, I'd just make the asan rule depend on the other, maybe
the ninja file could be changed in that way?

Sounds like a solid plan.
