ASan doesn't always set DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES correctly on OSX

Example 1:

$ cat t.c
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
  execl("/bin/bash", "/bin/bash", NULL);
}
$ bin/clang -fsanitize=address t.c -o t -g && ./t
dyld: Symbol not found: ___asan_mapping_offset

  Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap: 5

- i.e. we're still trying to preload the runtime library after exec().

Example 2:

$ cat f.c 
void foo() {}
$ bin/clang f.c -dynamiclib -o f.dylib

- i.e. the application falls into an exec() loop.

FTR, the missing invocation string for Example 2 is:
$ DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=f.dylib ./t
