I suggest to simply disable libsanitizer build on the older systems
which is what happens de facto now.
If there is significant interest in maintaining asan&co on older
systems (which I have not seen so far),
then those interested will need to help us in upstream repository (llvm) by
a) sending us patches using http://llvm.org/docs/Phabricator.html and
b) setting up a public buildbot (attached to the LLVM master bot) with
the system they care about.
If there is no one interested enough to do a) and b) I say we should
not spend time on this.

Sounds like a simple check for minimum kernel version in libsanitizer configure
would do the trick. Can anyone suggest a reliable way to obtain version of
target kernel? We need something that would work all the way back to 2.x
kernels.
