[Openmp-dev] Build is terribly slow on Arm

[Michael Kruse via Openmp-dev]

Itaru could mean compiling his application with debug symbols (-O0 -g)
using a release build of clang (it's always good to mention which
version of clang you are using) or an optimized version of his
application using an CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug build of clang. Maybe he
could clarify?

If you are running linux, a performance trace (flame graph / Linux
perf record) would be useful, especially if you are using a debug
build of clang.
