Yeap - the slowest compiler on the planet strikes again. I can get this escalated directly to the right people at NVIDIA which will probably be quickest way of addressing it. Which file is it specifically? I'd need to put together a standalone repo - i.e. the minimum set files of files they would need to reproduce the problem and then I can get us some help.

Cool - so if I change the configure script to test for 7.5 and later or quit and request one upgrades NVCC there would be no objects yes?
All the best
