Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
See the below link for available sanitizer options on the three major toolchains. Additionally, I'm not sure if all of the listed options are available in the specific GCC version used in CI (afaik)
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse

Research direction
Start with the linked Discourse discussion and inspect CPython's existing sanitizer CI jobs for Ubuntu 24.04 x64. Compare the proposed sanitizer options with the toolchains and platforms currently used in CI; done means a concrete, agreed scope for extending coverage, including confirmed toolchain support.
