>Description:
In lib/rpc/unit-test, the generation of files from rpc_test.x
requires a working rpcgen. In addition, some makes (e.g. OSF/1 make)
try to be too clever about VPATH-located dependencies and substitutes
for them in the commands for the rule, causing other breakage because
rpc_test.x is found in VPATH and then rpcgen $(srcdir)/rpc_test.x gets
run despite there being a symlink in the current directory.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try building in lib/rpc with OSF/1 make or on a system without
rpcgen.
>Fix:
Generate the rpc_test*.[ch] files by running rpcgen on a
platform which has it, then check into the source tree.
