Some related comments: We were considering dropping AOO3 from the tree as AOO4 should be better. Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1 will be the last OpenOffice release to build with the old GNU toolchain in base. The Mac OSX port is forcing us to move aggressively towards C++11. TBH FreeBSD 9.x support is at risk due to a conflict between the old libstdc++ and an unpatched bug in the version of boost that we carry. My recommendation is to start from 4.0.1 and then upstream your changes (it should not be difficult). For PPC you can, of course, borrow heavily from linux-ppc. Here is an old guide that may help: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Lazy_Hackers_Guide_To_Porting I will see if I can find some expert help for the endianness issue but don't be shy about asking questions upstream ;-). Pedro.
