So there's one case we have to special-case which is cross-nvptx-gccN containing PTX objects which are not elf. There we still get tons of [ 406s] strip:/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/cross-nvptx-gcc9-9.2.1+r275327-0.x86_64/usr/nvptx-none/lib/mgomp/libc.a(lib_a-bcopy.o): Unable to recognise the format of file: file format not recognized messages, likely from brp-strip stripping all "compiler-generated local symbols" (WTF?) The contents seem to be unharmed at least (PTX are text files). So I'm simply crossing fingers and try to remember re-testing PTX offloading still "works".
