the most likely cause is --with-system-libs.  this will (obviously) link
your OOo against the libraries installed on the system.
if some other distro has the same libraries compiled with some different
options from your distro, such that they are not binary compatible, then
you can experience problems, or (if you're lucky) OOo will refuse to even
start.

but using only bundled libraries is not necessarily enough to create
portable linux binaries; OOo does not bundle all libraries yet (even if a
look at the source repository would give the impression), so you will
likely still get problems if you run your OOo on a distro with older
system libraries than the ones on the build system.
here at Sun we build (essentially) against a chroot that contains some
antique distro system libraries and headers, with (apparently) portable
results.
