Any findings on this issue? I'm ran into the same error.

This is similar to the roadblocks encountered by other projects when they tried to support the AMD-powered Mac Pro:

• Blender Issue T44674
• Open Letter to Tim Cook from the Lux project

Sadly, there is no useful information returned by AMD's compiler to help address these issues.

@kknox do you know anyone at AMD that projects can talk to about escalating this (whether it be with AMD or with Apple)? At one point, there was a Developer Outreach manager we could talk to.

This is what appeared to my problem when porting a CUDA kernel to OpenCL
original CUDA code:
float h = floorf(f);\n
Compiling with OpenCL gave the same error like you: "Error returned by cvms_element_build_from_source"
Now in OpenCL there is no 'floorf' function. Just 'floor' (https://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.0/docs/man/xhtml/mathFunctions.html)
So the solution was as simple as:
float h = floor(f);\n
There are a number of these kinds of 'f'-functions like: fabsf, floorf, cosf etc... that may not be supported by OpenCL.
