(It appears to be not only kernel, but binutils.) I think, at least the following should be done: - identify and document the minimal requirements - test for necessary features at compilation time (we have full autoconf, presence of crucial headers should be tested) and issue a meaningful error message if they are not found - ideally, but I know it is more work: disable libsanitizer automatically from toplevel configure if requirements are not met This is what is done for dependencies of all default parts of the compiler, as far as I can tell.
