With my gcc 4.0.3, it fails as of rev 20254:

checking for OpenMP flag of C++ compiler... unknown

configure: error: Inkscape requires OpenMP support to build

Can't please make this an optional configure flag? I don't have

multiple cores and would like to avoid upgrading gcc on this machine,

as it would mean recompiling a ton of libraries.

We can of course, but I didn't because OpenMP was integrated into GCC

March 9, 2006[1] which was then released May 13, 2007[2].  And the GTK+

we're depending on 2.12 was released Fri, 14 Sep 2007[3].  It would seem

that if you had a new enough GTK+ you'd have a new enough GCC.

I guess my question here is that in this rather rare case is it worth

the complexity of having this, and likely more in the future, ifdefs in

the code?
