Here's a workaround, but I think it looks like fido's ass:

$ cat test.c
#include <float.h>
#include <math.h>

#if defined(__clang__)
# define CLANG_NO_DIV_BY_ZERO
__attribute__((no_sanitize("float-divide-by-zero")))
#else
# define CLANG_NO_DIV_BY_ZERO
#endif

CLANG_NO_DIV_BY_ZERO
int main(void)
{
  return INFINITY == 1.0f / 0.0f ? 0 : 1;
}

$ clang -fsanitize=undefined test.c -o test.exe
$ ./test.exe
$ clang --version
clang version 6.0.0-1ubuntu2

Would you be willing to hide a macro like CLANG_NO_DIV_BY_ZERO in a
header somewhere so it can be used in tests like test-math.h?
