We're now scrubbing environment variables in compile.com since gnu make
was not behaving as expected. It also appears there was a regression in
recent revisions that caused ASAN to be turned off for most binaries in
dbg mode, which has now been fixed. Cosmopolitan is fully ASAN hardened
down to the lowest level libraries and it doesn't need any interceptors
I wanted a tiny scriptable meltdown proof way to run userspace programs
and visualize how program execution impacts memory. It helps to explain
how things like Actually Portable Executable works. It can show you how
the GCC generated code is going about manipulating matrices and more. I
didn't feel fully comfortable with Qemu and Bochs because I'm not smart
enough to understand them. I wanted something like gVisor but with much
stronger levels of assurances. I wanted a single binary that'll run, on
all major operating systems with an embedded GPL barrier ZIP filesystem
that is tiny enough to transpile to JavaScript and run in browsers too.
