Just as the sanitizers have a runtime, the linux kernel has a re-implementation of those runtimes (the linux kernel does not link libgcc/compiler_rt) and IIRC the compiler will work differently (I forget which flags control that). Prior art here.

The sanitizer runtime is not nearly as complex as the Fil-C runtime.

Sanitizers don't have to deal with:

- https://fil-c.org/safepoints

Oh and it's not clear if the current revision of the capability model would work with memory mapped IO: https://fil-c.org/invisicaps
