It has ~28 MB for me now.

:) nice
So, I have added more and fixed component dependency issue with
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b1a87ca7840ab4ed17e8a775fcd4726c2fc5b75d

But I am not able to build LibreOffice with recent gcc 4.7. I don't
know if the problem is in gcc, LibreOffice or me.
It fails in testtools/source/bridgetest/ and I think also later in
some unittests.

Maybe we could add also vcl ? Its makefile is ugly but it's quite large.
When I tried it I got multiple definitions of 'main' in:
desktop/source/app/main.o
svx/source/dialog/sendreportunx.o

And do we still want only libraries needed at start there ?
Maybe we could merge fwm and fwl only for Android and I guess more can
go there in Android, not start-library case too.
