How much help does LibreOffice's own documentation offer? (For I have seen the ebuild, and it is an ugly beast with ~70 packages worth of dependencies. That's for the lightest configuration, which lacks cups support, any kind of scripting, and several other things. It would be much easier if we could just say, "follow this guide, but you'll need to pass this flag and this flag.")
As far as I can tell, something like the following is needed in the build script:
==================== ... # Check for an installed Trinity and assume TQt. # We need additional tests to ensure LO has been patched correctly. TDEDIR=${TDEDIR:-""} # to avoid "TDEDIR: unbound variable" if [ ! -z "$TDEDIR" ]; then export TDEDIR="$TDEDIR" export QTDIR="$QTDIR" export QTINC="$QTDIR/include" export QTLIB="$QTDIR/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" TDEOPTS="--enable-tde" else TDEOPTS="--disable-tde" fi
...
./autogen.sh \ --prefix=/usr \ --docdir=/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-${LOVER}${VERSION}${PKG_SUBVER} \ --libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --mandir=/usr/man \ ... ${GITOPTS} \ ${KDEOPTS} \ ${TDEOPTS} \ ... ====================
My build attempt failed when I tried to build the latest stable, 4.1.4. I filed bug report 1799 showing the failure messages.

Seems the expected directory and file location has changed from previous versions of LO. My guess is we need to push an appropriate patch upstream to the LO folks.
