The openoffice-3.2.1 ebuild hangs here: ...

I figured this out. I have MAKEFLAGS="-j5" set so that qt-creator takes advantage of multiple cores. In order to get the openoffice ebuild to not hang, I had to use: MAKEOPTS="-j1" MAKEFLAGS="-j1" ebuild openoffice
Most of the parallel build issues are fixed by the lo-3.4.2 and later. This one is just one of the lucky ones :)
