IIRC, the OpenOffice ebuild strips cflags *because* it is such a terrible
thing to build.
FWIW, I did build it (well, ever 1.0, I think) once on Gentoo. I used
Sun's Java, even, and hacked up the ebuild to allow a few cflags through.
I didn't notice any speedups.
I tried again back in August to build it ... version 1.1-betawhatever back
then, I think. It compiled happily for ... ohhh... about nine hours
before it finally gave out on me. Oh, and this was on a P4 1.7GHz system.
*sigh*
I haven't tried since then. I just use KOffice instead, printing to PDF
files when I can't print locally so I can print from the school's
computers. OpenOffice is there, but it isn't being used.
