Hi,
here is a mail I got from ORC mailing list:
I'm not sure they will release their version in GPL...
but under BSD.

I think I've mentioned that TsingHua is adding OpenMP support in gcc and f90. 
They are ready to open source OpenMP 1.0 changes, and actively working on 2.0.
However, the implementation requires Intel library.

Thanks for your explanation.

I've diffed against the right version of GCC 
and indeed the patch is not so big.  
(in fact I've done a dichotomic search and minimized 
the size of the resulting patch).

Here are the minima:
- for the C front-end: 
cvs up -d -D "2000-05-30 10:00"
- for the C++ front-end:
cvs up -d -D "2000-06-05 23:00"

Patches available at: 
http://icps.u-strasbg.fr/~pop/sgi_gccfe.diff
http://icps.u-strasbg.fr/~pop/sgi_g++fe.diff

I've also noticed that there's no support for OpenMP in these 
front-ends.  We'll have to wait until GNU implements OpenMP in GCC.
There is already a project on Savannah for implementing OpenMP:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gomp
but its inclusion in the GCC mainline is not guaranteed.

Any interests in updating the front-ends?

Sebastian
