I have the 3 dependencies mentioned installed.

[root@SBX-EXT-001-002 loolwsd]# ldconfig -p | grep "libpng"
        libpng12.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0
        libpng12.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libpng12.so
        libpng.so.3 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libpng.so.3
[root@SBX-EXT-001-002 loolwsd]# ls /opt/poco
bin  include  lib

Any point in the right direction?

It's in glibc, in particular you need to have glibc-devel installed... Also you need to install the build dependencies:

sudo yum-builddep libreoffice

• On Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice
  • With modern releases, use autogen to select a newer gstreamer,
  • or install the old package with: sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
• On OpenSUSE 11.4+: sudo zypper si -d libreoffice
• On Fedora 22+ & derivatives: sudo dnf builddep libreoffice
• On Fedora 21+ & derivatives: sudo yum-builddep libreoffice
