Libreoffice uses a download of libfreehand, and apparently can use a
system version. With 6.3.3.2 the version it downloads is
https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/src/libfreehand-0.1.2.tar.xz
but that fails to compile:
libfreehand_utils.cpp: In function 'void
libfreehand::_appendUTF16(librevenge::RVNGString&, std::vector<short unsigned
int>&)':
libfreehand_utils.cpp:166:5: error: expected ';' before 'unsigned'
166 | unsigned char outbuf[U8_MAX_LENGTH+1];
| ^~~~~~~~
See e.g. https://www.spinics.net/lists/libreoffice/msg03179.html
- there is a missing semicolon at the end of line 165 in that file
Gentoo's system build of libfreehand-0.1.2 patched this (I'm sure a
sed would do) - apparently icu-65.1 broke this.

Anyone have any ideas on how to apply a patch or sed to a file in a
tarball which gets downloaded during the LO build ?
I see that Arch are using 6.3.3.2, but with system libfreehand. The
description is "a library for import of Aldus/Macromedia/Adobe
FreeHand documents" and it lives at the document foundation.
doesn't look like something worth adding. But Arch have it depending
on librevenge which LO also ships. <sigh/>
I thought about reverting to LO 6.3.0.4, but that also downloads
libfreehand-0.1.2.
I suppose the only practical workaround is to NOT use system-icu in
LO. Will try that.
