Hi Alexey,

I've attached just the changes to darwin-sanitizer-ld.c, look good?

Thanks,
Joey

I was planning on looking into using ubsan for diagnostics after this
initial patch.
I updated the patch to not link with the ubsan-rt if -fsanitize=bounds is
passed.

Sounds good. Can you please also test this behavior in
test/Driver/darwin-sanitizer-ld.c?
 
Ok to commit?

There is a patch to remove the penalty arg, it has been approved for
committing,
but I'm waiting for the Clang patch to land before I commit it. I have also
started to look into adding a new parameter to select between traps and
runtime calls.

Thanks,
Joey
