In the process of updating net/inetutils, which correctly uses

With gcc14, the build fails due to implicit function declaration of
orcmd_af. Am I missing something?
I think upstream should just use rcmd(3)/rcmd_af(3) on NetBSD too. On NetBSD,
rcmd(3) can be run by any program--not just by setuid ones--because it runs
/bin/rmcd (which is setuid). (And, /bin/rcmd is the only user of orcmd_af(3)
in the tree.)
Tell upstream to just delete all the orcmd code and configure tests.
If you don't wan't to patch inetutils that extensively for pkgsrc, just add the
prototypes for the missing funcs. to `libinetutils/libinetutils.h'
