I found this one while fixing the buildsystem to use pkg-config to discover those...

I sent upstream a patch to allow disabling NSS and Avahi, and to check for them with pkg-config so that it can be cross-compiled.

As it happens, systemtap 1.6 does _not_ build without NSS, as it lacks some conditionals:

In file included from csclient.cxx:12:
cscommon.h:7:17: error: ssl.h: No such file or directory
In file included from csclient.cxx:12:

Okay I was able to get two patches upstream, one to fix the discovery of the two (so that it uses pkg-config) and another to add --without options that allows us to disable code for both.

But the collapse of the two can't be applied over 1.6, I have a port over 1.6, so I could commit this with an avahi USE flag right away, if you wish.

Created attachment 285643 [details]
systemtap-1.7_pre20110903.ebuild

This is an ebuild for the latest snapshot, that includes my patches and the disabled-NSS fixes, which means it can be used without applying futher patches.

I also bumped the ebuild to EAPI=4 as it shortens it a bit.

Should be fixed in 2.0 I think
