What is the advantage of having a separate build configuration? It should
be possible to make it floating by simply using host=clang-3.4, and adding
the label to the slave axis, right? And a separate build configuration
wouldn't give the Sanitizers_and_analyzers higher priority, unless we
install a plugin such as Priority+Sorter+Plugin.
