Except of systemd I would like to prefer a Lennart-free Gentoo. I don't have any Usage for Zeroconf/Avahi. For googleearth-7.1.1.1580 this is a mandatory dependency in the ebuild. ...

I put into /etc/portage/profile/package.provided: sys-auth/nss-mdns-0.10-r1 Googleearth installs fine and seems to run without any problems. So please recheck, if this dependency (nss-mdns) is really really really necessary and remove it or make it optional. Tested on amd64 and x86. Reproducible: Always
If there should be really no way to avoid nss-mdns, please add a USE-Flag to the nss-mdns ebuild which allows to build only the nss-mdns libraries without pulling in avahi: Using --enable-legacy instead of --enable-avahi in the econf of nss-mdns does the trick.
