Herbert,
Why do you mention the Solaris Sparc UNO C++ bridge below. Is it related to the x86/intel bridge. I am running Solaris 11 x86_64.

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 their implementation languages plainly avoiding this extreme platform dependency. [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 Solaris Sparc UNO C++ bridge. The links above hopefully help to find the knobs in main/bridges/source/cpp_uno/cc*solaris_sparc* source. The related tests in main/testtools/source/bridgetest can eventually help too.
