Those prior clang versions don't like the '-mllvm -hwasan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix=1' option, end up printing the help text instead of generating the object. Do we need some combination of cc-option and cc-param? Or at least disable this instrumentation if earlier clang versions are used. It's already in mainline as commit 51287dcb00cc715c27bf6a6b4dbd431621c5b65a. Thanks. -- Catalin
