Comment (by teor):

 `-fsanitize=address` causes clang to run out of registers when compiling
 `ge25519_scalarmult_base_choose_niels` in `src/ext/ed25519/donna/ed25519
 -donna-64bit-x86.h`.

 Adding the function to the sanitizer blacklist resolves this issue, as
 long as people use it.

 I can make a branch for it if you'd like.
 It would add:
 {{{
 # The optimised x86_64 assembly version of
 ge25519_scalarmult_base_choose_niels
 # runs out of registers when compiled with ASan
 fun:ge25519_scalarmult_base_choose_niels
 }}}
 to the end of `contrib/clang/sanitize_blacklist.txt`
