I used the sarge version, and it worked! (well, mostly).

I had to copy libgcc_s.so.1 from an x86 box & use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use
it.  Also, I had to downgrade all of my Arch:all OOo packages to the
sarge version, otherwise the setup script fails.  Looks like .sversionrc
is miscreated otherwise:

dannf@krebs:~$ cat .sversionrc
[Versions]
OpenOffice.org 1.1.3=file:///home/dannf/.openoffice/1.1.4

Maybe there should be some versioned deps somewhere?
