Rust + AddressSanitizer + FFI not firing on segfaults

help

Hi,

I'm interested in creating an rlib which wraps/provides a nice interface to a cpp library. Ideally during development I'd compile the cpp lib with ASan, then link it into my rust test executable to better catch memory corruption errors. However, when I do this ASan seems to stop working. I figure I've misunderstood something, but as hoping I could get pointed in the right direction.

C version:

// segfault.c
int segfault(void) {
        return *(int *)0x41414141;
}

// main.c
int segfault(void);

int main(void) {
        return segfault();
}

$ cc -fsanitize=address -o segfault.o -c segfault.c
$ ar rcs libsegfault.a segfault.o
$ cc -fsanitize=address -o x main.c libsegfault.a
$ ./x

Rust version:

// build.rs
fn main() {
    println!("cargo:rustc-link-search=.");
    println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=static=segfault");
}

// src/main.rs
extern "C" {
    fn segfault() -> i32;
}
fn main() {
    unsafe { segfault() };
}

This is linux x64, tried with clang 7.0.1 and gcc 8.3. Is this possible/have I done something dumb?
