It would be really helpful for me too ;) -- unfortunately, I probably
won't get to devote any serious time to it until August. Simone
Pellegrini has generously contributed his clang OpenMP parsing code
(https://github.com/motonacciu/clomp). Work needs to be done to rebase
and refactor that into something that can be included into clang. Also,
we need to define the LLVM threading 'API' that the clang OpenMP will
target, and then make a default implementation (probably targeting
libgomp). Would you like to help?

Thanks again,
Hal
