Therefore, fix this by simply omitting -static-libasan for clang builds. And leave behind a comment, because the whole reason for static linking might not be obvious.
clang won't accept invocations of this form, but gcc will:
$(CC) file1.c header2.h
Fix this by using selftests/lib.mk facilities for tracking local header file dependencies: add them to LOCAL_HDRS, leaving only the .c files to be passed to the compiler.

Hi John,
I sent out a similar fix a couple of weeks ago, see [1]. I don't think it got picked up though. It takes a slightly different approach, explicitly adding -static-libsan (note no 'a') for clang, instead of relying on its default.
And it just drops helpers.h from the makefile altogether, on the assumption that it was a mistake; its just a header and shouldn't be compiled directly. I'm not exactly sure what the benefit of adding it to LOCAL_HDRS is?

Thanks, Ryan
