Actually, you've done it in ACCEL_COMPILER only, so
I assume linking the above two sources with -fopenmp into a single
binary or shared library will still work because LTO when reading
the byte-code in will remangle the names of those variables to something
where they are unique in that single *.s (or *.ptx) it emits.
But, if you put one of those TUs into a shared library and the other
into another shared library, I don't see how it can work anymore,
because both those ELF objects which will be in data sections of those
libraries might have clashing names.

If GCN can't support static variables (but isn't it ELF?) and there is no
other way than sacrifice offloading from multiple shared libraries or binary
in the same process, it at least shouldn't be done for targets which don't
need it (e.g. PTX) and shouldn't be done in the pass you've done it in
(because that means it will walk all the vars for each function it
processes, rather than just once).  So, better place would be e.g.
offload_handle_link_vars in lto/*.c or so.
