Subject: clBuildProgram on a multi-GPU environment

Hi, this might make sense to get into the new release. In common_opencl.c:

-  build_code = clBuildProgram(program[dev_id],0, NULL,
+  build_code = clBuildProgram(program[dev_id],1,&devices[dev_id],

Seems to me the patch is better on a multi-GPU environment. The 
situation on John now is NULL on device_list parameter of 
clBuildProgram. But "If|device_list|is NULL value, the program 
executable is built for all devices ..." and we are going to run the 
software on only 1.
