My point is precisely to avoid linking with libgomp. OpenMP in beecrypt
is only used in one location, the RSA algorithm, and OpenMP support can
be disabled by passing --disable-openmp.

So instead of unconditionally copying a 232 KB library just to
parallelize a single RSA algorithm in beecrypt, I'd rather advocate to
disable OpenMP support in beecrypt.

Best regards,

Thomas
