Good!
However when working through the requirements I noticed that gcc 4.2.3 is the current reference compiler
Where? When you cite the wiki please always send the link, since there are a lot of outdated pages that are not marked as such (by the way, if you want to help in doing so while you go through the build you are welcome; just ask for a MWiki account here on the list in case).
I wonder if the release driven Distros are still 2 Versions behind, or does this entry need an update?
Give the precise URL and we can take a look. Note: using a search engine will often bring you to an outdated page. Always start from https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO
Which Versions do our build bots use? I think they should be the reference or?
We build daily snapshots and releases. For daily snapshots we use what Infra wants to supply (usually a long-term-support Ubuntu); for releases we use our reference baseline (currently CentOS 5, a very old distribution; this guarantees that our binaries will run on all distributions that are the same age as CentOS 5 or later, so practically all Linux desktop machines in use).
