If you do that, then I'd suggest making the new rpcgen a separate package
from libtirpc. (In cross-compilation scenarios, it's likely people may
want to build rpcgen for the host but libtirpc for the target. Since I
don't think the output of rpcgen depends at all on the target
architecture, given a separate rpcgen package there should be no further
complications involved in supporting cross compilation.)
