clang: error: : errorunsupported option '-fopenmp' on Mac OSX El Capitan building XGBoost

Question

I'm trying to build XGBoost package for Python following these instructions:

Here is the complete solution to use OpenMP-enabled compilers to install XGBoost. Obtain gcc-5.x.x with openmp support by brew install gcc --without-multilib. (brew is the de facto standard of apt-get on OS X. So installing HPC separately is not recommended, but it should work.):

git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost cd xgboost; cp make/config.mk ./config.mk; make -j4 

This error occurss precisely in the make -j4 command.

Searching beforenad, I've tried these two solutions (1 and 2), to no avail, except for the part to installing another gcc by fear of messing up everything.

Below is the make configuration file. It has none suspicious about.
