Marcin Cieslak <saper at SYSTEM.PL> made a suggestion about the path
length which caused me to revisit the problem.

The openoffice build now works after moving my ports build directory
from /d04/data/freebsd-stable-6/ports to /d04/ports and adjusting my
/usr/ports link.

It appears that there is some path length limitation in the openoffice
build probably in epm.  I haven't looked into this any further.
