On macOS Sierra, an installation for xgboost with openmp enabled always fails.
From https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build.html ,
I tried:
cp make / config.mk. / config.mk; make -j4
WITH

llvm supports openmp, but with an error ld: library not found for -lomp

But clang-omp switches to boneyard and stops supporting llvm OpenMP.
I turned up to (with the -v option)
