First, thanks for your work on enabling this!  I will say that I had the
plan to re-engage with Nvidia to hire us (as initial implementors of
GCC/nvptx offloading) to make AArch64/nvptx offloading work, but now that
Nvidia has its own GCC team, that's great that you're able to work on
this yourself!  :-)

Please CC me for GCC/nvptx issues for (at least potentially...) faster
response times.

Heh.  Yeah...

I also think the proposed patch is not quite the right hammer for the
issue at hand.

Right.

Right.

So, my idea is: instead of the current strategy that the host
'TARGET_OFFLOAD_OPTIONS' synthesizes '-foffload-abi=lp64' etc., which the
'mkoffload's then interpret and re-synthesize '-m64' etc. -- how about we
instead directly tell the 'mkoffload's the relevant ABI options?  That
is, 'TARGET_OFFLOAD_OPTIONS' instead synthesizes '-foffload-abi=-m64'
etc., which the 'mkoffload's can then readily use.  Could you please give
that a try, and/or does anyone see any issues with that approach?

And use something like '-foffload-abi=disable' to replace the current:

    /* PR libgomp/65099: Currently, we only support offloading in 64-bit
       configurations.  */
    if (offload_abi == OFFLOAD_ABI_LP64)
      {

(As discussed before, this should be done differently altogether, but
that's for another day.)
