libreoffice is a shell script, although ldd reports it is a static binary. soffice.bin (the mainline) is a regular dynamically linked ELF program. There is a Slackbuild for 4.2.1 which I'm about to try upgrading to 4.2.2. It downloads the rpms and repackages them as tgz. The rpms are conveniently tarred up together:
