It is very unlikely, even regarding in whatever way Ubuntu apparently 
broke its version of LO SDK, that the way the LO SDK's idlc picks a 
preprocessor is influenced by any settings done through the SDK's 
setsdkenv_unix.  (As such, my "that is maybe also the reason why the 
Ubuntu-provided LO SDK does not work for you" remark was not very 
useful, and is more than likely false.)

My understanding is that this is a bug in Ubuntu, as per Björn's "Ubuntu 
uses cpp as provided by gcc" (which I interpret to mean "Ubuntu uses cpp 
as provided by gcc as the preprocessor called from idlc").
