FWIW, I ported OOo to arm-eabi last year, the "vanilla" rpms of the time
are at...
http://ooo.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/cws/upload/armeabiport01/
and that work is now integrated into 2.4.0 as in rawhide so in theory
for F9 it should build out of the box.

At the time there was no ecj/libgcj port to arm-eabi so the extra flag
to OOo's configure required to workaround that was --without-java, I
see java-1.5.0-gcj-devel in the repo now so that's presumably
unnecessary now.
