Thanks.

The build process runs

  strip --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note --strip-unneeded debian/amd-opencl-icd/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libamdocl64.so

which is regular procedure for all shared libraries and should be a safe
operation, but the library provided by AMD seems to be fragile this time.

Is the amd-ocl-icd:i386 package affected as well? (I.e. does it not work,
having "just" a different file size due to stripping is not enough.)

Running clinfo (the i386 binary!) should be sufficient to list the
available devices.
