 Hi there,

 Yes, I can confirm this too.  I have studied the problem and it seems
 it is mainly because Clang is used for compilation.  I tried to debug
 the source of the problem but it turned out that gdb(1) (not even the
 recents versions of it) cannot fully debug the Clang-generated
 binaries and I could not make lldb (Clang's own debugger) work on
 FreeBSD, and that is not even in the Ports Collection officially.
 
 I then discovered there is a knob, WITH_GCC that enables you to
 fallback to building LibreOffice with GCC 4.6 or later.  Building with
 this setting finally I was able to launch LO on my machine and it even
 worked.  So I would recommend to pass this knob to the Makefile upon
 build:
 
 # make install clean BATCH=yes WITH_GCC=yes
 
 For maintainers: Although it said that it is possible to build
 LibreOffice on the TDF wiki, this applies to version 3.6.x only.  For
 4.0.x, there is no such information, so I would like to ask you to
 switch back to building with GCC by default.  (See a patch attached
 that reverses the current logic in the port.)
