Rene,
I am disappointed that it can compiled because I have a i386 hardware
and numerous company have old i386 machines that are still working. I
don't speak of the i386 machine that was converted from the obsolete
Windows XP to Debian.
I have also surprised when I see the success of the compiling
of the 5.2.7 and earliest by the upstream release for i386
architecture.
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/?type=deb-x86&version=5.2.7&lang=fr
Was there all same upstream libraries used by Libreoffice 5.2.7
recompiled for Jessie-backports or only a selection of them?
Or is the compilation Debian chain the problem?
Regards.
