How popular a system is is not very relevant.
What matters is: we build OpenOffice on an "old" system since this makes
it compatible with more recent systems. If we built OpenOffice on the
latest Ubuntu, it wouldn't work on older Linux systems.
CentOS is good because it has very long term support, which allows us to
establish a common baseline: for example, all Apache OpenOffice releases
run on the same platform and were built on CentOS 5, so there is no risk
that 4.1.2 works for you and 4.1.3 doesn't. Ubuntu LTS does not offer
equivalent support.
Anyway, I also believe we should try with Damjan's patch. But apparently
the patch never made it to the list. https://s.apache.org/xRCa does not
show the patch either.

Andrea.
