It seems that you do not have the upstream sources. You either forgot to 
run ./download or it somehow failed.

The same problem was being solved in this thread
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/ooo-build/2010-March/000671.html

Few more hints:

I suggest to use the released 
http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.0.10.tar.gz. The ooo-build in 
git master is under a heavy development and it is broken from time to time. 
The released tarball from the stable branch should be better buildable.

Many users had troubles with building on UbuntuJaunty. The build is more 
tested on Debian or openSUSE.

You might find some hints for UbuntuJaunty in Maja's blog at
http://gsoc-ovcica.blogspot.com/2009/07/packages-to-install-on-ubuntu-jaunty.html

If you see later another build problem, you might find a hint in the ooo-build 
list archive at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/ooo-build/
