-fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error is a legacy option from 2013 when
-fcatch-undefined-behavior instead of -fsanitize=undefined enabled
UBSan.
On the Clang side, http://reviews.llvm.org/D10464 added
-fsanitize-trap= in June 2015.
It's best to use -fsanitize-trap=undefined and avoid uses of
-fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error.
