You have to tweak clang/tools/*/Makefile(s).

For example, tools/libclang/Makefile,

USEDLIBS = clangARCMigrate.a clangRewriteCore.a clangRewriteFrontend.a \
           clangFrontend.a clangDriver.a \
           clangSerialization.a \
           clangParse.a clangSema.a clangEdit.a clangAnalysis.a \
           clangAST.a clangLex.a clangTooling.a clangBasic.a

You may put your clangOmp.a after clangLex.a, as long as clangLex.a
depends on your clangOmp.a.

           clangAST.a clangLex.a clangOmp.a clangTooling.a clangBasic.a

It should be done for each tools/*/Makefile(s).
Note, USELIBS is sensitive to linking order.
