Currently, with -fsanitize=address, the driver appends libclang_rt.asan.a to

the link command. This all works fine when the driver is also responsible for
adding -lstdc++ to the link command. But, if -lstdc++ (or libstdc++.a, etc) is
passed explicitly to the driver, the ASan runtime will appear in the link
command after the standard library, leading to multiple-definition errors for
the global 'operator new' and 'operator delete'. Fix this in a painfully
simple way, by inserting libclang_rt.asan.a at the start of the link command
instead of the end.

If we need to do something more clever, we can walk the link command looking
for something that resembles libstdc++ and insert libclang_rt.asan.a as late
as possible, but the simple solution works for now.
