gcc 4 can be built with OpenMP support. This requires a configure switch to gcc and that the libgomp library be installed on the target.

I'm not sure about OpenMP. What would be the use case of this in an embedded scenario ?

The actual use this was put into our local tree was to build OpenCV which can use OpenMP out of the box. It's only really useful on SMP systems but I think there are quite a few of those around these days.
