It seems that when one has gobject-introspection installed, avahi's gir stuff is automatically built.
Please provide emerge --info and build log. Thanks.

Thanks. > Thanks but not thanks for asking some useless information (regarding this specific issue)... :S From avahi's configure.ac: [snip] # # Introspection support. # GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK([0.6.7]) [/snip] Avahi needs either IUSE=introspection and $(use_enable introspection) or just plain --disable-introspection in pkg_configure()'s econf variable.
(In reply to comment #2) > Thanks but not thanks for asking some useless information (regarding this > specific issue)... :S It's not up to you to decide what information may be required, and you didn't initially provide enough information for bug-wranglers unfamiliar with the package in question to handle the bug report. So either you give all the usual information or you provide very specific information straight up.
This bug is fixed by this commit: *avahi-0.6.30-r1 (14 Aug 2011) 14 Aug 2011; Nirbheek Chauhan <nirbheek@gentoo.org> +avahi-0.6.30-r1.ebuild, +files/avahi-0.6.30-optional-gtk-utils.patch: Add gtk3 and introspection support, make utilities optional, reorder deps to use COMMON_DEPEND, remove static libraries and .la files
