Come on, this is nonsense.  I have indicated earlier that I would have
liked to import openmp into base, but this was shot down precisely for
that reason: nothing in base uses it.

So for now, the solution is simply: install one of the llvm ports, and
use it.  These have configuration setting to install every optional
component from the LLVM project.
