 I know this PR is closed but I wanted to make sure this got into the 
 audit trail:
 
 The bug here is actually an rpcgen bug from FreeBSD 5.x and up; the main 
 RPC program function is always emitted 'static' but the header file 
 declares all functions, including that one, as 'extern'.  This changed 
 between 4.x and 5.x -- previously the 'extern' declaractor was not 
 emitted at all.
 
 I've submitted a bug report for rpcgen; I don't know if that means we 
 can remove this patch once rpcgen is fixed, since it has been "broken" 
 since early in 5.x.
