Armin,

We can talk about it here.  I haven't looked at the RPC stuff for 
several months and then I only used it for testing nfs, but I don't use 
it regularly.

The problem we had with glibc is that upstream removed rpc and we then 
added tirpc.  I think I recall a problem with portmap so that was 
removed from the book.  I thought that the only thing 
--enable-obsolete-rpc was to install rpc include files.

I'd like to see a summary of problems and recommended solutions.
