That's not entirely clear to me, but OK ... it's clearly a very
experimental feature.

(I tracked down what originally led me to think that Google Drive via
CMIS was a properly-supported feature:
http://standardsandfreedom.net/index.php/2014/02/01/libreoffice42/
"But with the 4.2, we also have some nice and immediately actionnable
features that will appeal specifically to the enterprise market:
Integration of the CMIS stack allowing you connect to document
repositories on SharePoint, Nuxeo, Tibco, Alfresco, Google Drive and
many other CMS ..." Of course, a marketing blog isn't development. But
others have gained this impression, e.g. to the point of filing Ubuntu
bugs expecting the feature to work:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1389936
Some clarification of its status may be appropriate ...)

The original build problem appears to be fixed in master by
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/vcl/Executable_icontest.mk?id=6e7da281c22a62ae39799b2736885e54c388caf2
- I tried that fix and it fixed my build problem, so presumably that
should go back to 4.4 branch as well (Chris Sherlock is looking into
this).
