Hi Gerald,

I don't read it like world will be clang forever, but more like openmp is
not something that requires GCC per se. A specific port might need GCC if
openmp support in clang is insufficient/buggy or by other reasons.

I think it is good for us if we can save rebuilding GCC in the dependency
chain for ports than don't really need it.

About the first part, what do you mean exactly about removing the
declarative nature of USE_GCC?

Cheers.
