Description
#pragma omp target tells the compiler where to run sections of openmp code. This is handled by the clang++-gpu wrapper (for one example) by adding the following to the command line:
-fopenmp -fopenmp-targets=nvptx64-nvidia-cuda
Can this be handled neatly by BLT?

Research direction
Start with the clang++-gpu wrapper example and BLT's handling of compiler command-line options. Trace how flags are assembled for OpenMP builds, then determine how the target options should be represented. Done means BLT can build code using #pragma omp target with the required flags and the behavior is covered by an appropriate build or test check.
