+ <richi> hmm, is libtsan not multi-libbed?
+ <jakub> richi: it only works on x86_64 right now
+ <richi> ugh
+ <jakub> richi: so, it is multilibbed, but only built on multilibs and
+ targets which are supported
+ <jakub> richi: as it often needs lots of RAM, it is probably not going to
+ be supported on 32-bit targets at all
+ <jakub> richi: no reason not to support it on say ppc64 or sparc64 or s390x
+ I guess, just needs work
+ <richi> jakub: where is asan supported? everywhere?
+ <jakub> richi: but then, I haven't even read what exactly libtsan does,
+ only looked at the atomics in there, and did the GCC side from what I
+ knew should be instrumented
+ <jakub> richi: asan is right now supported on x86_64/i686, ppc/ppc64,
+ perhaps partially x86 darwin (don't care) and in theory arm (nobody
+ tested)
+ <jakub> richi: porting isn't that hard, but the library isn't as clean as
+ it would be desirable portability wise
+ <jakub> richi: that said, I don't want to spend as much time as I've done
+ so far on it, and in the time I'll allocate for it optimizing the code it
+ generates is higher on the todo list than ports to other targets
