This works around the limitations of the binary format nvptx and amdgpu are using in the compiler. It's the wrong place in the stack to fix it - we could introduce another symbol table in the binary to capture the per-tu-between-arch scoping.

However, if we later reach consensus on what to do in the elf instead, we can still do that. In particular, embedding an elf for one arch in a named section of an elf for a host arch is crude. This workaround seems acceptable in the meantime.
