Does sunrpc work on 64-bit platforms right now?  PR libc/2226 cites a
problem with the use of u_long all over the sunrpc code where it ought
to be uint32_t.  It looks to me like this is probably in fact a problem,
but I don't have a 64-bit machine to test it out on at the moment.

I think this would break the ABI. In which case it's a no-go.
