    And it only works with the newest FreeBSD versions???

    bash-2.05# make install clean

    You can compile openoffice with different
    gcc compiler versions:

    Use: USEPORTGCC295=YES, USEPORTGCC31=YES and
    USEPORTGCC32=YES to compile openoffice with your
    prefered compiler.

    OS-VERSION 450001 too low

    Openoffice need some important libc_r and
    gcc fixes to build. Please upgrade to 4.6
    PRE-RELEASE or RELEASE.
