Subject: bug#59519: LibreOffice 7.3.5.2 fails to build on i686-linux
Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2022 19:50:11 +0000

Hi,

I was able to build libreoffice for i686-linux by adding "--enable-lto" and "--without-galleries" to the configure flags. The former seemed to resolve the linking issue, and the latter was to deal with the build failing because of 0 themes being found.

That error was:
[build GAL] backgrounds
[build GAL] sounds
[build MOD] postprocess
Work on gallery 'file:///tmp/guix-build-libreoffice-7.3.5.2.drv-0/libreoffice-7.3.5.2/workdir/Gallery/backgrounds'

phase `build' failed after 954.9 seconds
command "make" "-j" "24" "gtk_update_icon_cache=true" failed with status 2

And a basic patch to add the two flags:
