I know, but O is not using it in any way.

There's a PoC for x86_64 in
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/bridges/source/cpp_uno/gcc3_linux_x86-64?h=feature/libffi&id=61982b799d82b6913b894ef11db39b7ff0c5a963
but as it says it's not even nearly finished and there was (afaics) no work
on it since then.

As guessed. :)

Even basic functionality needs the bridges.
