macOS conda-forge CI jobs fail with
clang: error: unsupported option '-fopenmp'(and, for the flexiblas job,'omp.h' file not found). Root cause: conda-forge's "minimally activated compilers" change means thecompilersmetapackage now depends on the bareclangpackage, which provides only a versioned compiler binary and never setsCC/CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGSonconda activate. With no unversionedclangonPATHinside the conda env andCCunset, the build tools fall back to the system Apple clang, which doesn't support-fopenmpand can't find conda-installedllvm-openmpheaders.Changes
