I am trying to compile OpenOffice 4.1.1 to run on MacOS X 10.6.8.
For building older versions of OpenOffice on Mac please see [1]. It
requires XCode 2 or XCode 3, both of which are not easy to get nowadays.
They are also almost impossible to install on current systems. For these
older versions the page also documents the requirement to compile with
the 10.4 SDK.
For building AOO 4.1 or newer please see [2]. The build system has been
reworked to allow current XCode versions (4.5 or newer) and works fine
with newer SDKs (10.7 or newer). However OSX 10.7 or newer are a
requirement for these newer builds.

When I
run the ./configure it runs for a few seconds then shows the following
error:
"checking the GNU gcc compiler version... configure: error:
found version "1.0.2", use version 3+ of the gcc compiler"
If I run:
gcc -v
I get:
gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5659)
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Also, what's the specific reason 4.1.1 isn't built as a binary for
10.6.8, while 4.0.1 is?
Please see above. The build system was quite outdated, the build
requirements were more than obsolete and targeted platforms that were no
longer supported by Apple. Also many other vendors like Mozilla, Google,
Microsoft, Adobe, etc. had already dropped support for these old platforms.
When we did the overdue refresh for newer platforms we also used the
opportunity to switch to 64bit. It would have been possible to get it
work on OSX10.6 too, but it was already unsupported by Apple then and
nobody was interested to put work into backporting the stuff [3].
