here's the error message ( tried to build with gcc 3.2_r1 with gentoo .1.4 version ) : checking the GNU gcc compiler version... configure: error: found version gcc (GCC) 3.2 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_compile, Line 59, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/openoffice-1.0.0-r2.ebuild .
the error was not fixed in portage 2.0.36 this looks like an error in the ebuild file, the gcc --version output changed for gcc 3.2 to include the extra gpl blurb, which is confusing the ./configure script and causing it to bomb out
