Dear Maintainer,

There is basic support for debugging code running on AMD GPUs in
gdb 14 and later. Please consider enabling this support by adding
amd-dbgapi-dev to the Build-Depends on amd64. This will add a runtime
dependency on librocm-dbgapi0.

The configure script will build AMD GPU debugging support by default if
amd-dbgapi-dev is found, but you can use --with-amd-dbgapi=<auto,yes,no>
during configuration for more control.

I have only tested this functionality on amd64 and I'm uncertain if it
works on arm64 and ppc64el. There is no AMD KFD driver support for other
architectures, aside from those three.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
