As you found out, OOo needs to be installed for proper operation -
you can kind of make the build do that for you, by setting
PKGFORMAT=installed. Then,
instsetoo_native/<yourplatform>/OpenOffice/installed/... will
contain a ready-made OOo installation.

Even easier is using ooo-build
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Ooo-build), that's a build
system & set of patches around OOo, that basically makes building a 

./configure
./download  (to grab build prerequisites)
make
ooinstall -l <target_dir>

True. Usually people manually copy libraries from solver to installation 
to avoid this situation - ooo-build's ooinstall conveniently integrates a 
script that symlinks solver & installation, so that's taken care of
there (vanilla OOo's version of that script is currently broken).
