Hi Mike,

The documentation

https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/AsanAsDso

gives a hint

-- snip
=ASAN and LD_PRELOAD=

It is possible to use ASAN in this scenario (e.g. JVM+JNI, Python+SWIG):

* There is third-party executable binary which can not be recompiled
* It loads shared libraries that can be recompiled and we want to test
them with ASAN

A simple solution is to build ASAN-DSO and LD_PRELOAD it into the
process, however the devil is in the detail.

* If the process creates sub-processes, they will also have ASAN-DSO
preloaded, which may be undesirable.
* TODO (stay tuned)
-- snip

Making the python + libuuid should be possible, but I it seems to
require a bit trying to get work. I feel it is acceptable to get most
of the util-linux & travis to work with the asan first, and once the
easy stuff is done one can/should concentrate on making the less
trivial things to work.
