I don't have a reference, but from observation, -fsanitize=address does two
things:
- in the compile stage, it instruments the code, which adds references to
symbols in libasan.
- in the link stage, it adds libasan (and libdl and possibly others) to the
set of libraries to link.
Since libtool is not passing -fsanitize=address on to the compiler at link
time, the -lasan use is just one work-around.
Also, -fsanitize=address messes with configure's detection of libdl. Again, if
-fsanitize=address was working properly at link-time, it probably would not
matter.
