Only the gcj in gcc-4.0 can actually build OOo.  Otherwise, it would
have to be built with a non-free JDK, which would cause a myriad of
problems.  Alternatively, you could just download your favorite non-free
JDK (as long as it is Sun's) and OOo from their home page and install it
yourself from the upstream RPMs.
