hr, how FreeBSD *is* building OOo is not as important as how it *should be* 
doing it :-)

Generally, I think, no OS should rebuild OOo's STLport if it already has a 
compatible implementation. And when it does not, I'd rather OOo had it as a 
pre-build requirement, than built its own. This applies to all 3rd-party 
packages currently shipped with OOo. IMO, it is a big folly to bundle things 
like expat, python, graphics libraries, et al. instead of simply saying, they 
must be installed already. They are easy to install on a good OS, and users of 
a bad one will not be building OOo from source anyway.

As you may read from this discussion, I tried removing the OOo's stlport 
directory from the tree prior to build, to ensure, that *nothing* from there 
will make its way into the compiled programs. If cmc's patches use that 
directory to force the system STLport -- fine, although I'd prefer direct use 
of the external STLport (either compiler's own, or the official one from SGI).

My concern was the bit-rot...
