This is already using UNO type information while bootstrapping the type information database (frame 20, createTypeRegistry). Either something is horribly broken and leads to this code path that should normally not be taken; building with --enable-debug and/or --enable-dbgutil (requires a complete rebuild, --enable-dbgutil swiches the output dirs from solenv/*.pro to solenv/* etc.) should reveal that. Or, this should pick up the "comprehensively" generated UNO type information in workdir/*/UnoApiHeadersTarget/udkapi/comprehensive/com/sun/star/.../*.hpp files (which is specificially there to use UNO type information already during bootstrap) but for some reason doesn't. The latter would typically be due to symbol visibility problems, where one library that shall use a "comprehensive" cppu_detail_getCppuType variant erroneously binds against a "normal" one from another library. <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=dee53a32a9feba2021782db5762b5a9a034efae4> "Temporary hack around cppu_detail_getCppuType variants violating ODR" should mitigate that problem, but maybe doesn't for you. Depending on linker, LD_DEBUG might help to find out whether libraries like libuno_cppuhelper link to symbols with "cppu_detail_getCppuType" in their names that come from other libraries.
Thanks for the analysis, Stephen. Is there anything I can do in practice to help you further? I built without any -O flags and with -g, but without asking configure for any debugging explicitly. ld.so on FreeBSD does not have LD_DEBUG. There is something else, though, which allows to dump the information for each symbol after the shared libraries are loaded. I ran that output through c++filt: http://aldan.algebra.com/~mi/port-stuff/soffice-ld-objects.txt (17Mb!). Yes, it is likely, that some work-around is attempted, but fails. Normally, FreeBSD port editors/libreoffice builds the suit with either clang or gcc46 (or newer), which works for most people. But gcc-4.2.1 is the base compiler and I'd like to be able to build with that... What else can I do to help debug this?

LO 3.6.x and 4.0.x branches are in the End Of Life state so please recheck with latest stable version of LibreOffice and update this report as the build code received many changes.
this may be related to my 75926 which to me is critical.
please help me update my LibreOpenOffice product. each time i try to download and open the update, i get a notice from apple that the image is not recognized. i am running my mac on the most current mavericks (OS 10X) operating system. i download the update and then the default to update LOO is to put it onto the DiscMounter. the default "save" is NOT how the mac or else your update is to be applied to my system. PLEASE HELP ME! i get notices constantly that tell me an update is available, even while working on my documents. today i wished to take a new fax coversheet template, but all i saw was the image of the new one, with a black "x" at the top left side of the small image of it. PLEASE HELP on that too. sincerely, karen dallas hartig

Adding self to CC if not already on
Mikhail: any update with recent LO version? Indeed a lot of cleaning has been done on code since 2 years. (just a pointer that you may already know: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/BuildingOnLinux)
Sorry, I've upgrade all of my computers to FreeBSD-10.x since then and my base system compiler is now clang.
Thank you for your feedback. So let's put this one to WFM. If someone reproduces this, please don't hesitate to reopen this tracker.
