APAR PK22609 has been opened to address this problem. Turns out there's
a handshaking issue between RPCGEN and the current C/C++ compiler. My
earlier suspicions regarding the cradling wrapper around the compiler
were, in fact, baseless. Instead, the preprocessor in the new compiler

I've wondered much the same thing as we've continued to pick at this
issue. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a copy of the
older-generation C compiler to compare results with. My [currently

newer cut of the compiler - what I'm using came off the RSU tape along
with the other components of the z/VM 5.1 development system that has
the problem.
Maybe a better question is: Does RPCGEN support the newer

cross-pollination from other pre-existing systems.
I have, meanwhile, run across a copy of the MAINT 19E from a much older
VM/ESA 2.4.0 system
