I found this snippet at the OpenMP site[1]:

#include <omp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
#pragma omp parallel
printf("Hello from thread %d, nthreads %d\n", omp_get_thread_num(),
omp_get_num_threads());
}

It compiles and runs in Linux with:

gcc -fopenmp hello.c -o hello.exe -lgomp -lpthread -static

The same using the cross-gcc compiles but doesn't run in Windows, and
there's no sensible error message.

At least it's a starting point.
