Re: clang: error: unknown argument '-static-libasan'; did you mean '-static-libsan'?

Hi Arnd,

This change went in quite a while ago and is on;y just blowing up. I saw your
comment in another thread [1] that Andrew merged your change to set -Wextra.
Perhaps that's what has caused this to show up only now? *although I don't
actually see -Wextra in the command line).

I guess the problem is that `-static-libasan` is only supported by gcc. But I'm
Makefile-illiterate. Can anyone advise on what's the best way to make this
argument gcc-only?

Thanks,
Ryan
