-Q: Why does my application say "Named symbol not found" and abort when I run it?
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

-This is most likely caused by trying to use OpenMP offloading with static

-Currently, the only solution is to change how the application is built and avoid
