That sounds fine.  Please send the patch for review.

I also noticed problems with rpcgen, the generated files (like
sunrpc/rpcsvc/key_prot.h) are broken - they contain a dot instead of
an underscore:
#ifndef _KEY_PROT.T_H_RPCGEN
#define _KEY_PROT.T_H_RPCGEN

No time to investigate yet (this seems to be ppc specific),
