Hi all,

It took my a while to track this down, but now I know where the problem
is ...

I found during the last month that OpenOffice compiled on FreeBSD CURRENT
with gcc3.2 or gcc3.1.1 was not working on my workstation.

- No menues at all are visible, all text is gone. Even in the
  setup there is no more text.
- It only happens on local x-display. If the display is
  exported to a remote screen, the text is visible !
- The local X-Server has no effect whether the bug does appear or
  not. I'm using a Radeon 8500 card.
- A openoffice compiled with STABLE still works.

The reason is strange:

- If libm (src/lib/msun) is compiled with CPUTYPE?=p4 in /etc/make.conf
  (-march=pentium4) openoffice gets unusable. If one does change that back
  to -march=pentiumpro, it works again.
- To make it visible, you have to restart your x-server after you have
  reinstalled libm.

It's definitly a gcc problem. Stay away from -march=pentium4 for now !

Martin
