Bugzilla Bug 184054

The latest gcc-4.2.0 fails to properly build openoffice resulting in invisible
text when attempting to use oowriter and other such apps provided with
openoffice.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gcc-4.2.0 && emerge openoffice
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
text is unseen after compiled with gcc-4.2.0

Expected Results:  
text should be clear to the user as every user expects

this is a visbility issue, I will attach the patch in a min that works around
the problem until open office upstream fixes the problem themselves.

Created an attachment (id=123731) [details]
patch to fix visbility issue

Confirmed and confirmed fixed with the attached patch. This is added to our
ebuild now, thanks for reporting, closing

I wonder whether the OpenOffice team realises that there's something called
standard C++, and it doesn't involve using C-style casts... *sigh*

I think I might have this bug again, but rebuilding once again to be sure. :)
