OS/2 code is part of our official source. So is FreeBSD code... And despite not having a release for ARM chips it is part of our code base. Maybe the wording of the page can be enhanced, but we should *never* delete a single line of code that is helpful for others to build OpenOffice on their preferred platform. In fact this may be the main difference to "other" office suites, that are only driven by commercial interest.
