At least for Memory Sanitizer, the documentation clearly says that

I thought we should compile everything except Glibc, no? Compiling Glibc
with MSan would be tricky, that's why it needs interceptors.

There are some parts of glibc which cannot be instrumented, like most things involved early in process startup. But there is nothing really special about, say, getpwuid, or even strerror.
