Timestamp not recognized when libasan.so is preloaded

[cartier]

I have an app that needs to be tested with a fixed date so I wrap it with faketime.
That works fine unless the app was built with Address Sanitizer (-fsanitize).
ASAN requires its shared object to be loaded first but doing so causes faketime to fail to parse the timestamp string.

$ gcc -fsanitize=address hello.c -o hello

$ ./hello
hello world

$ faketime "2021-08-19 12:00:00" ./hello

==1176412==ASan runtime does not come first in initial library list; you should either link runtime to your application or manually preload it with LD_PRELOAD.

OK, so lets use LD_PRELOAD.

Find libasan.so
$ gcc -print-file-name=libasan.so
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/13/libasan.so

LD_PRELOAD=$(gcc -print-file-name=libasan.so) faketime "2021-08-19 12:00:00" ./hello
Error: Timestamp to fake not recognized, please re-try with a different timestamp.

The timestamp used works fine with any non-ASAN executable:
$ faketime "2021-08-19 12:00:00" date
Thu Aug 19 12:00:00 PM EDT 2021

But not when ASAN is preloaded:
$ LD_PRELOAD=$(gcc -print-file-name=libasan.so) faketime "2021-08-19 12:00:00" date
Error: Timestamp to fake not recognized, please re-try with a different timestamp.
