into with LibreOffice; it was before I upgraded to Fedora 35 just
a couple of weeks ago. Let me retry again (the build is still
downloading tarballs).
In the meantime, do you have any tips or suggestions getting it
set up that aren't on the instructions page below? (Especially
for using an alternate compiler and non-default options.)

Building LibreOffice from source should be relatively easy these days,
esp. on Linux. Let me know if you have any specific issues. What I do
to build against a GCC other than the system one is to include the two lines
CC=/path/to/gcc
CXX=/path/to/g++
in autogen.input.
(And if you have any issues building LibreOffice, I guess you would have
an even worse experience trying to build OpenOffice. I for one never
looked back.)
