is anyone trying to get the now opensource staroffice to compile on
linux/ppc?

I've given up on this - the build tools included in the source package are
binary only (Intel or Sparc), no sources so far as I can see, and the
stuff in config_office has a number of hardcoded assumptions that make
life miserable (gcc version == 2.95.2, jdk 1.2.2 which requires glibc
2.1.3, Linux only exists on Intel and Sparc, ...). Basically, it sucks.

                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Look at the bright side: at least the code should be endianness and 64-bit
clean :-)
