modified glibc compilation segfault on making sunrpc

[Sharath George]

Hi

I modfied the  glibc-2.4/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sysdep.h as a part of 
the research Im doing. The modifcaion includes a change in the way it traps 
into the kernel but all the modifications are in sysdep.h and nowhere else.

Once i begin compilation, it segfaults when it makes sunrpc
make  subdir=sunrpc -C sunrpc ..=../ others

on going to that folder and trying to run the rpcgen bit i get the following 
error
/usr/src/glibc/trial2/glibc-2.4/sunrpc#    rpcgen -Y ../scripts -c 
rpcsvc/bootparam_prot.x -o 
/usr/src/glibc/trial2/build/sunrpc/xbootparam_prot.T
exec: 6: -C: not found
rpcgen: C preprocessor failed with exit code 2

Im running Ubuntu and im compiling this on a domU kernel. The compilation 
works fine when it is unmodified. Is there anyway I can skip the sunrpc 
directory or is this a necessary part of the libc. I do not need to test 
this new libc for anything to do with rpc.


Thanks in advance,
Sharath
