Hello, When I decided it was time to install LibreOffice I first tried the stable book version but it failed to compile (more on that in a bit), So I went to the later version, and notice that the --with-system-boost and --with-system-icu lines have been inadvertently left off.
Also in my attempt to compile this code, I had to add the following: POPPLER_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/poppler without adding that it was unable to locate GfxState.h even though poppler had been compiled with --enable-xpdf-headers. For some reason, at least on my computer, libreoffice has a problem with entering sub-directories within the /usr/include tree. Perhaps you could add that to the configure line so that it helps others? Another thing that needs to be done is, if you have libjpeg9 installed, I can't recall which package needed libjpeg, but I am not talking about libjpeg-turbo. Is that you have to patch two files in libreOffice to enable it to compile against the new version of libjpeg9. I found the discussion of the compilation error at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479946 The patch is also there as an attachment. They have it listed as unconfirmed, but I can say that without it, like the person who provided the patch, libreOffice will not compile. I manually edited the two files rather than apply a patch, but perhaps it might be a good idea to make the patch available as a required if you have libjpeg9 and above installed. As it is still compiling I do not know how its going to run, but from that thread, I suspect it will install and run fine.
