I'll push this if and when the build finishes and I confirm that
LibreOffice is still working.

This does allow the build to finish but I can't start the resulting
libreoffice.

During start it shows a dialogue that says "Fatal Error: The application
cannot be started. User installation could not be completed.".

I attached an strace of the startup.

Sounds good!

I had briefly looked at the issue but couldn’t find where UTF8.h was
supposed to come from…

Thanks,

That strace was performed when I had only updated libreoffice in my
profile. There are some spurious issues like missing locales in that
log.

I've attached another one recorded after updating my entire profile to
core-updates.

In the failing libreoffice startup trace, I see this line:

299 [pid 13010] open("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

Libreoffice from the master branch does not try that.

The issue is related to how NSS is configured on my Debian system, and
glibc 2.26 retiring libnss_compat.so. If nscd is running, then
libreoffice has no problem figuring out where to install it's per-user
files. That general issue was discussed in <https://bugs.gnu.org/30298>.

So, pushed as eb096cdebab56680375b26069ec524ddec60267e.
