That is odd.

That is concerning. AMD dropped official support for gfx900 in ROCm 4.5 
and will soon be dropping official support for gfx906 as well, but that 
doesn't mean the source code supporting those platforms should be removed.

I will see if I can get this sorted out upstream.

I would agree.
