Description

I haven't addressed the downstream part yet i.e.: it the project is compiled with OMP and requires linking flags, the assumption is that if the linking flags are not propagated to a downstream project it will have linking issues.

Edit: I saw the new issue now. You can merge this and I can try to address it later. At least the user will be able to build PCL. He can later report if he later had linking issues.

Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request 3721 and the linked discussion about downstream projects on macOS Catalina. Reproduce a build where PCL is compiled with OMP, then check whether a downstream project receives the required linking flags. Done means PCL builds and the downstream linking behavior is confirmed or corrected.
