The current patch does not consider HIP/OpenCL compile options, therefore the 
value of these variables are not correct for OpenCL/HIP. They need to be 
overridden by the variables with the same name in device libraries by clang 
through -mlink-builtin-bitcode.

If the patch check HIP/OpenCL compilation options to set the correct value for 
these variables, then it does not need weak linkage.
