StaticCompiler for julia v1.12

[Thomas008]

As for julia v.11 (issue 166) StaticCompiler does not work for julia v1.12, because it seem to force an older version of GPUCompiler 0.26.4. I get the error message

There was a PR to get StaticCompiler work for v.12, with GPUCompiler 1.5.x. It does not work?
What would be needed?

In the following is the trace of the error message, when trying to install StaticCompiler in julia 1.12:
