I performed 
 
#emerge rsync 
#emerge openoffice 
 
My build of Gentoo was performed by booting with the 1.4beta ISO starting from 
stage-x86. If you need any further info, please email me.

The configure script that comes with openoffice uses a too simple script to
check for the gcc version. The script returns all the notices except just the
version. That breaks the lot.

I believe that what needs to be done is to change the call to "gcc --version" to
"gcc -dumpversion".  Unfortunately, my attempts to do so have failed for unknown
reasons.  I will continue to try.

It appears that the version bump from 1.0.0-r2 to 1.0.1 has resolved this bug. 
OpenOffice has compiled for me and at first glance seems to run fine.
