There is message from configure: checking for XScreenSaverRegister in -lXext... no checking for XScreenSaverRegister in -lXss... yes configure: error: XScreenSaver extension development headers not found. Use --disable-screensaver if you do not need XScreenSaver extension support, this is required for detecting idle time by mouse and keyboard usage.

Created attachment 153551 [details, diff] a small patch for ebuild pidgin also fails to compile, when there's no avahi available (even with -bonjour in USE flags). this patch solves problem for me.
fixed in cvs
