I don't have net-dns/avahi installed, USE="dbus gnutls gtk nls sasl" are the only flags i use; net-im/pidgin errors out with some sort of info about --disable-avahi. Moved the ebuild to my overlay added a few lines and it compiles fine. Configure behavior was modified a bit: that's from the changelog: The configure script now dies on more absent dependencies. The --disable-xxx arguments to configure can be used to bypass unneeded dependencies. This will also cause the configure script to die if an --enable-xxx option is used and the dependencies it requires are missing. Don't know if other protocols need the same --disable-xxx option, --disable-avahi surely does. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge =net-im/pidgin-2.4.2 2.watch configure 3.configure: error Actual Results: Error: net-im/pidgin-2.4.2 failed ;) Expected Results: correctly emerged and installed pidgin-2.4.2 :) configure: error: avahi development headers not found. Use --disable-avahi if you do not need avahi (Bonjour) support
Created attachment 153485 [details, diff] pidgin-2.4.2.ebuild.diff added a few lines, solves my problem with avahi :)

I added: $(use_enable bonjour avahi) \ in the econf section.
This is an easy fix (using the approach Matthew Joiner took).
