I was a little puzzled by this --- I'm on Fedora 17 x64, and my tooltalk binaries are not linked with tirpc. Apparently the glibc developers did remove the functionality upstream: http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2012/05/msg00038.html so maybe kpederson just has a slightly different version of glibc than I do (or I have some extra headers?).
