Blender Version
Broken: 3.6.0 and onward

Short description of error
Trying to use Cycles on Debian with an AMD GPU doesn't work and gives an error message saying Failed to load HIP kernel from '/home/philipp/software/blender-3.6.0-linux-x64/3.6/scripts/addons/cycles/lib/kernel_gfx1031.fatbin' (Shared object initialization failed).

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Download blender from the official download page.
Unzip the downloaded Blender archive.
Install HIP by running sudo apt install hipcc.
Run the downloaded Blender executable.
Go to Blender's Preferences>System>Cycles Render Device, switch to HIP and select the GPU.
In Render Render Properties>Scene change the Render Engine to Cycles and Device to GPU Compute.
Switch Viewport Shading to Rendered.

Here is an output from running Blender from the terminal:

philipp@debian:~/software/blender-3.6.0-linux-x64$ ./blender
Read prefs: "/home/philipp/.config/blender/3.6/config/userpref.blend"
KFD does not support xnack mode query.
ROCr must assume xnack is disabled.
Failed to load HIP kernel from '/home/philipp/software/blender-3.6.0-linux-x64/3.6/scripts/addons/cycles/lib/kernel_gfx1031.fatbin' (Shared object initialization failed)

Hi, thanks for the report. I guess those we disabled in early 3.6 release #104786
Can you check in recent builds (3.6.x, 4.x): https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/
Also share system info file: Help > Save System info
rocminfo output and version

Hello, thank you for the response.

In the 4.1.0 and 3.6.7 daily builds (dated 05 Jan 03:02) the issue persists and gives the same error message.
I've attached system-info outputs from both 3.4.1 and 3.5.0 as there is a difference.

The rocminfo version is 5.2.3-2 according to apt.

Thanks. Guess rocm 5.3 and higher version is required: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/render/cycles/gpu_rendering.html#hip-amd
