Meet rawhide. :-)

Binary RPMs for OpenOffice 1.1: 
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/redhat/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

I haven't tried them myself, but usually when backporting RPMs from 
rawhide, I recompile the src.rpm, as compiling against the libraries I 
have on my system cuts the pain about 90%. Mirror.aarnet doesn't appear 
to have src.rpms for rawhide, so you'll have to find them elsewhere.

Regards,
Nathan.
