Hi Marko,

/compiler-rt-$(VERSION).src/lib/msan/CMakeLists.txt in order to generate
msan.so when compiling llvm from source (similar as for ASan or UBSan).
Given that this is a completely-unsupported model, I'd rather not do this.

that static linking with MSan is not supported.
Slightly confusing wording, but the documentation means to say "MSan is not
supported for static executables."

(Python->swig.cxx->native.so, as mentioned it is possible for ASan here),
I'm using clang 7.0.1 and I keep getting DEADLYSIGNAL from MSan when trying
to use it in that way.
I'm sorry - I'm not able to provide much help with this unsupported use
case. I'm not surprised things are breaking :(.
