When using profiling and ASan together (-fprofile-instr-generate -fcoverage-mapping -fsanitize=address), at least on Darwin, the section of globals that ASan emits (__asan_globals) is misaligned and starts at an odd offset.  This really doesn't have anything to do with profiling, but it triggers the issue because profiling emits a string section, which can have arbitrary size.
