There was a thread about this just the other day:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2019-03/msg00203.html

The answer is no, nobody's working on supporting it. Jakub does most
of the sanitizer work, and doesn't see much benefit compared to
valgrind, because msan requires the entire program and all libraries
it uses to be rebuilt with msan instrumentation. Valgrind works on
uninstrumented binaries.
