Or some magic compiler flag is not set. Or some output files must be
in certain locations or everything fails (this has already happened,
btw).

I have attached the CMake one. I don't actually have OOo built so I
can't get that output. I'm no strace expert, but the only weird thing
I could see is at the very end:

unlink("file:///home/jpakkane/idlcsource/builddir/idlout/Exception._idlc_")
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/jpakkane/idlcsource/builddir/idlout/Exception._idlc_",
O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 3

The unlink command specifies a URL, which of course fails. But it does
not matter, since the file is immediately reopened and truncated.

One thing to note is that idlc calls the idlcpp preprocessor (by
spawning a thread that forks, for some reason). Its accesses are
probably not listed here. But running idlcpp manually seems to work
just fine.

I don't know what UNO bootstrapping does exactly, but the source code
and build system for idlc is totally separate from everything else. It
just links to registry/store/salhelper/sal.
