Is -fsanitize=memory reliable when the C compiler doesn't get to see all
the source files? Do you get the same result of you recompile gmp using
CC='clang-7 -fsanitize=memory'? If you also recompile with
--disable-assembly?

For what it's worth, when I compile the same program and run it under
valgrind, I see no complaints. Also a debian x86_64 system with
gmp-6.1.2.
