[PATCH 1/2] compiler: define __ll_elem for linker list elements

[Ahmad Fatoum]

When built with clang + AddressSanitizer, global variables end up with
a redzone that breaks linker list elements.

The __no_sanitize_address attribute prevents these redzones, but GCC
isn't happy about applying it to anything but functions. Therefore
define a __ll_elem macro for defining linker list elements that takes
care to avoid these redzones when building with clang.
