Avahi failed to emerge and I had to remove pygtk from my use flags, than it compiled OK. I was just interested if removing "-pipe" from CFLAGS makes any difference, and I tried remove it and emerge avahi with pygtk, but it does not compile. For me it compiles only without pygtk and changing -pipe doesn't work at all. I checked this because I have 512M. I don't know why I might need avahi with pygtk...disabling pygtk use flag for avahi works fine and other packages compile well. Wojtek
