I don't have that device handy, but I've tried -fsanitize=hwaddress on two
ARM servers available, and despite other issues I've encountered, I could
reproduce the problem with __ubsan_default_options() on current master:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000aaaaaed06e1c in __ubsan_default_options () at main.c:507
507     if (!reached_main)
(gdb) bt
#0  0x0000aaaaaed06e1c in __ubsan_default_options () at main.c:507
#1  0x0000aaaaac489d84 in __hwasan_init ()
#2  0x0000fffff7fc25c8 in _dl_init (main_map=0xfffff7fff380, argc=1, argv=0xfffffffff3f8, env=0xfffffffff408) at 
./elf/dl-init.c:106
#3  0x0000fffff7fd8d38 in _start () at ../sysdeps/aarch64/dl-start.S:46

The proposed patch really eliminates it. Thank you for recalling this!

Best regards,
Alexander
