Doesn't seem to be. I'll have to prod the guys.

Thanks for the information. The vague idea was to annotate bitcode
with OpenMP instructions or maybe modify OpenMP instructions
present in the original source. But it seems that this would
not be possible at least in a straightforward fashion.

We'd be happy to contribute, if something eventually comes out.
