I have to admit that I have never used a UB sanitizer before,
so it may take a while until I get a usable result.

Actually, you can :-). We have added a SPARC T5 instance to the
gcc compile farm. So, if you want, you can just apply for an
account there, see: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm and
get started. Any developer can apply for such an account.

There are SPARC boxes running Linux (Debian unstable) as well as
Solaris. I have root access to the Linux instance (gc202), so I
can install any extra package if necessary.

No, no idea yet.
