On Ubuntu 24.04 + ROCm clang-20, the HIP source-build fallback in
`_install_package_wheel_first` (causal-conv1d, mamba-ssm source fallback,
flash-attn source fallback) dies at:
/opt/rocm-X.Y/lib/llvm/lib/clang/20/include/__clang_hip_runtime_wrapper.h:112:10:
fatal error: 'cstdlib' file not found
Root cause: clang-20 picks the highest-numbered /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/<N>
runtime dir by default. On 24.04 that's gcc-14, whose runtime objects ship in
the gcc-14 package but whose C++ headers (/usr/include/c++/14) come from
libstdc++-14-dev — NOT in the default apt set. libstdc++-13-dev IS in the
default set, so /usr/include/c++/13 exists. clang has no way to discover
that asymmetry and the build fails.
Fix: new `_hipcc_gcc_install_dir()` helper iterates gcc 14 → 11 and returns
the first /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/<N> dir where BOTH the runtime AND
/usr/include/c++/<N> exist. The HIP branch of `_install_package_wheel_first`
appends `--gcc-install-dir=<that path>` to HIPCC_COMPILE_FLAGS_APPEND before
invoking pip. Respects an existing `--gcc-install-dir` in the env var
(user-set takes precedence); preserves any other flags the user has set
(appends to the end rather than overwriting). No-op on non-HIP, non-Linux,
non-x86_64.
Mirrors the same fix bbf004c added to studio/setup.sh for the llama.cpp HIP
build branch (#5301), but via env var since pip-driven source builds can't
take CMake flags directly.
Verified on Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 / Radeon 8060S (gfx1151) / Ubuntu 24.04 /
ROCm 7.13 nightly: `_hipcc_gcc_install_dir()` returns
`/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/13`, which matches the manual workaround
that already lets `pip install causal-conv1d` succeed on this hardware.
