We're currently working on contributing full OpenMP support to Clang, but it takes time to get such a large patchset reviewed. In the mean time, I've been helping to maintain a trunk-rebased version of the full patchset here: https://github.com/clang-omp/clang_trunk -- it is my hope that we'll have full support upstream for Clang 3.5.
