probably not, 

I’ve been tied up with WG21, so not properly reviewed the libsanitizer
merge yet..  However, I have a note to myself to check the *existing*
interface that GCC is emitting for the facility on Darwin, since it differs
from the one emitted by clang (that might/might not be imporant, it’s not
yet analysed).

No, this issue is not the absence of a blocks runtime (at least, not on
Darwin) the issue is that the compiler support is missing.

I haven’t got anything mature enough to post for inclusion in GCC-10, the last
6 months have been “playing catch up” and just didn’t leave enough time for
this, sadly.
