Point-Blank Master (APG) & Flanking

[Callarek]

So, Point-blank master gives an archer the ability to attack while threatened without provoking, so should the flanking rules allow an archer with this feat to grant flanking?

Or should I just spend 5 gp to buy a spiked gauntlet....

Were I the GM, I would only allow it when, say, a Zen Archer reaches 9th level and can threaten opportunity attacks with the bow. That said, since the ZA can still kick with a bow in his hands, I guess they already provide a flank.

No. It allows you to not provoke, not to threaten with a bow.
