OK, I think there is a problem with the glibc sunrpc stuff. It appears
that there is a dependacy upon cpp existing in either $PATH or in /lib,
which will *always* fail if cpp does not exist in either of these and
smash the build itself.

I have been told by the egcs people that egcs-1.1.1 no longer puts the cpp
binary anywhere except in the following private directory.

	/usr/lib/gcc-lib/(platform)/egcs-x.xx.xx

Someone has suggested that the sunrpc stuff should try using gcc -E
instead. 

Quick and dirty fix is to create a symbolic link to cpp in /lib from
egcs' private directory. 

Thoughts? 

Cheers,
Alex.
