This is not the list to discuss such matters, but something is wrong
with your toolchain. A version of gcc which supports OpenMP should have
a libgomp.spec file, in one of the places it looks for .spec files.
It maybe that you need to install something other than gcc to get it,
especially on micro-packaged distributions.
But e.g. on my Fedora 16 it is file
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.6.3/libgomp.spec
which is part of the gcc RPM.
