results of gnulib tests with -fsanitize=thread

[Bruno Haible]

Here are the result of a gnulib testdir with
CFLAGS="-O -ggdb -fsanitize=thread".

1) test-*printf-posix[23].sh, test-get-rusage-as fail because the
ThreadSanitizer does not have enough memory for its own operation.

2) test-getgroups blows up (quickly uses more than 6 GB of memory)
and then gets killed by the Linux kernel. dmesg says:
[274463.520311] Out of memory: Kill process 16149 (test-getgroups) score 612 or sacrifice child
[274463.520318] Killed process 16149 (test-getgroups) total-vm:132607169824kB, anon-rss:6662924kB, file-rss:0kB

3) test-idpriv-drop.sh and test-idpriv-droptemp.sh ask for the root password
and then hang indefinitely.

4) test-lock triggers an internal error in the ThreadSanitizer's deadlock detector.

5) test-pthread_sigmask2 leaks a thread.

Conclusion: I would say I won't try this sanitizer option any more in a while.
