It might be advisable to see if this affects the build of libsanitizer, 
and alert sanitizer maintainers if so.  (There appear to be sanitizer 
interceptors for ftime and stime, and an include of <sys/timeb.h>.)

After comments at last year's Cauldron about glibc API changes breaking 
sanitizers and language libraries such as libgo, I added a --full-gcc 
option to build-many-glibcs.py with the hope that the people raising such 
issues would set up bots to monitor for them, but I don't think anyone has 
set up such a bot (and there were a series of pre-existing build issues 
using that option, as well as the need to have a new-enough native Ada 
compiler in the PATH when using it).
