Hi Linux from Scratch-ers -
I've been building my own linux distro since @ 1998 and
running a largely LFS based / compliant system on my current x86_64
(i7-4910MQ) Clevo Laptop for the past couple of years .
Great System!
Recently came across my first major stumbling block , now having
a need for RPC + NFS + Kerberos, I find I am unable to build
libtirpc-1.0.1 according to the instructions in the latest GIT
draft of BLFS (2016-10-15 20:13:31 +0000 (Sat, 15 Oct 2016))
or in libtirpc documentation -
o GLIBC (2.24+ - I am running 2.25) does not ship the rpcsvc/nis.h
headers anymore - libtirpc builds fail with:
${SRC}/libtirpc-1.0.1/src/rpc_soc.c:64:24: fatal error: rpcsvc/nis.h: \
No such file or directory
Similarly, any attempt to build rpcbind of course also fails.
There are loads of glibc headers to do with NIS and RPC in
/usr/include/{nis,rpc,rpcsvc}/*
that glibc used to ship, but now does not.
I have contacted the libc-help mailing list about this , and the best
answer I got was :

My first attempts to build glibc 'make subdirs=nis install' did not
install the headers,
and of course attempts to copy the internal headers into /usr/include
result in a
terrible mess.
I have recompiled glibc with those configure options and still I do
not get an rpcsvc/nis.h .
Anyone seen / overcome this problem yet ?
Any pointers on developing glibc patches to ship the old NIS & RPC
headers correctly ?
I believe the BLFS sections on NIS & RPC & glibc & libtirpc & rpcbind could
use some updating on this issue .
Any help or advice gratefully received .
I am considering just building the Linux BSD newlib port / installing
FreeBSD ...
Thanks & Regards,
Jason Vas Dias
