I have build the Yocto Build Appliance (qemux86_64) successfully using 
poky master 31e6eee860b5f9f4ac9ef0889bcff5648de6e3f9 with this patch.
Also, I have built gcc (for qemux86) successfully from the Yocto Build 
Appliance (qemux86_64) by manually cloning poky master 
31e6eee860b5f9f4ac9ef0889bcff5648de6e3f9 with this patch and building 
GCC 4.8.1 through Hob (usually the build appliance uses an older git 
clone of poky that uses GCC 4.7).
Interestingly the build appliance has /usr/lib/libstdc++.so present so 
perhaps this libasan linking issue also affects the build appliance.

The patch only modifies the libtool (2.2) script included with GCC 
sources used for building GCC and not the libtool (2.4) that is used 
elsewhere so its effect should only be limited to building GCC.
I am not sure how to test this change in SDK environment. Could you 
elaborate?

Regards,
Jonathan
