Description

Support separable compilation / relocatable device code for hip as well as cuda.
Without the -fgpu-rdc flag I get an unsupported indirect call to function error at link time.

Research direction

Review BLT's existing CUDA separable-compilation handling and trace where device-link flags are configured. Compare that path with the HIP build path, then verify that HIP relocatable device code is enabled and indirect-call projects link successfully without the reported error.
