Thanks AGAIN, Herbert. Is there any significance to the following trace output:

This has been a road block for me. The OpenOffice bridges are part of the UNO framework. An overview [1] and FAQ [2] can help to get started into this topic. Especially see the FAQ's chapter 2.9 ("Why is it so annoying to write a compiler version dependent C++ bridge?") on the deliberate design decisions that lead to this unfortunate fragility. There are other applications in the same league as OpenOffice that use plain implementation languages and thus avoid these extreme platform dependencies. [1] https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Uno/Article/Understanding_Uno [2] https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Uno/FAQ [3] http://www.openoffice.org/udk/cpp/man/cpp_bridges.html [4] https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/images/5/5e/DevelopersGuide_OOo3.1.0_05AdvancedUNO.odt There is a good chance that the ABI hasn't much changed and that the different compiler versions produces similar enough code so that one could eventually get along with minor tweaks to the Sparc Solaris UNO bridge. But finding the right knobs to tweak is a bit tricky. I hope the references above help to solve this.
