I wouldn't call 99 messages (found by searching the GCC archive for 
"OpenMP") the number of threads "huge".

The most pertinent thread, from 7 Feb 2003, is

	http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-02/msg00367.html

So far as I can tell, that is the *only* technical thread, and it is 18 
months old, pre-dating the merge of gfortran and tree-ssa. Most of the 
thread is taken up with discussions of OpenMP's aesthetics and people's 
opinions thereof.
