Sorry, I only tested the publishing side, not the client browse (I
assume you are referring to avahi-browse).  I have had some issues
with browsing on some other platforms and was only able to use
avahi-browse-static (sp?), but does not appear that the static browse
is in the version that that I submitted for ltib.  Likely a later
version, but later versions had a host of pre-requisites that needed
some massaging to get to work in a proper cross-compile environment (I
eventually had to build them anyway for heartbeat, which shared much
of the pre-reqs).

avahi was probably the first package I had ever ported to ltib, so I
am sure the quality is not quite up to what it should
.
I can try out the browse, but need a day or so to get one of the ltib
built systems up and running.
