Bug#990101: clang-11: Problem building mixed C & C++ code with UBSan sanitizer

Package: clang-11
Version: 1:11.0.1-2~bpo10+1
Severity: normal

If I have a mixed C/C++ code with classes with virtual function in it, and I
am trying to build it with BUSan with -fno-sanitize-recover=undefined option,
then I get undefined reference error messages

/home/nataraj/test/ubsan_cpp_c/library.cpp:8: undefined reference to `__ubsan_vptr_type_cache'
/usr/bin/ld: /home/nataraj/test/ubsan_cpp_c/library.cpp:8: undefined reference to `__ubsan_handle_dynamic_type_cache_miss_abort'

I can fix these undefined references by specifying explicitly linking to
clang_rt.ubsan_standalone_cxx-x86_64 library, but this is not how it should
work as I can guess.

Here I offer a sample project that allows to reproduce the problem. (I am not
sure I will be able to add attach via reportbug, if not, I will attach it in
the next message)

When I buitld this project as written in build_ubsan_broken.sh:

make clean

CC=clang-11 CXX=clang++-11 \
CFLAGS="-fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=undefined" \
CXXFLAGS="-fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=undefined" \
LDFLAGS="-fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=undefined"\
 make

building will fail.

But if I add -Wl,--whole-archive -L/usr/lib/clang/11/lib/linux/ -lclang_rt.ubsan_standalone_cxx-x86_64 -Wl,--no-whole-archive
to LDFLAGS (see build_ubsan_wokarounded.sh), it will successfully build:

make clean

# Using hack suggested in http://clang-developers.42468.n3.nabble.com/fsanitize-undefined-and-shared-libraries-td4029561.html#a4029653
CC=clang-11 CXX=clang++-11 \
CFLAGS="-fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=undefined" \
CXXFLAGS="-fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=undefined" \
LDFLAGS="-fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover=undefined -Wl,--whole-archive -L/usr/lib/clang/11/lib/linux/ -lclang_rt.ubsan_standalone_cxx-x86_64 -Wl,--no-whole-archive"\
 make

I guess this should be fixed and symbols from 
clang_rt.ubsan_standalone_cxx-x86_64 should be added to some library that are
linked by default when you use -fsanitize=undefined
