By adding the path of libomp.so to the LIBRARY_PATH, gcc/icc will pick up the LLVM/OpenMP runtime during compilation.

As long as libgomp does not implement OMPT and LLVM has no Fortran frontend, I would welcome the possibility to easily link this runtime into Fortran applications compiled with the GNU compiler.
