OpenMP on FreeBSD is a bit of PITA: - base/ system on Clang archs doesn't provide libomp or libgomp - libomp from LLVM openmp is guaranteed to be available only on amd64 - USES=compiler:openmp doesn't know about LLVM openmp (bug 210337) archivers/pxz supports non-OpenMP by removing -fopenmp from CFLAGS. > I was about to fix it when I found out that upstream pxz is both > abandoned and broken ([0], and in particular, [1]).
