<pre>
    Currently users of liboffload have to manually build and link any input PTX files into CUBIN files. For example (from Unified Runtime):

```c++
ur_result_t ProgramCreateCudaWorkaround(ur_context_handle_t hContext,
 const uint8_t *Binary, size_t Length,
 ur_program_handle_t hProgram) {
  uint8_t *RealBinary;
  size_t RealLength;
  CUlinkState State;
  cuLinkCreate(0, nullptr, nullptr, &State);

  cuLinkAddData(State, CU_JIT_INPUT_PTX, (char *)(Binary), Length, nullptr, 0,
                nullptr, nullptr);

  void *CuBin = nullptr;
  size_t CuBinSize = 0;
  cuLinkComplete(State, &CuBin, &CuBinSize);
  RealBinary = (uint8_t *)CuBin;
  RealLength = CuBinSize;

 auto Res = olCreateProgram(hContext->Device->OffloadDevice, RealBinary,
 RealLength, &hProgram->OffloadProgram);

  // Program owns the linked module now
  cuLinkDestroy(State);

  return offloadResultToUR(Res);
}
```

It makes sense for this format to be detected, built and linked in liboffload itself to save users from having to duplicate this logic and link against libcudadrv.
