How to do the sunrpc revert?

[Andreas Jaeger]

I looked briefly at the sunrpc changes while waiting for more people to give 
their "Yes, do it" ;).

Fedora and openSUSE (not checked others) use a very simple patch (attached as 
glibc2.14-revert-sunrpc-removal.patch) that works but is more of a hack, e.g.
it does the following in include/libc-symbols.h:

-# define libc_hidden_nolink(name, version) hidden_nolink (name, libc, version)
+# define libc_hidden_nolink(name, version) hidden_def (name)

The full removal patch (attached as sunrpc-removal.patch) is rather large and
contains also whitespace changes which I propose not to revert.

Should we do a full revert of the patch or use the simple patch - or is there
some middle ground?

If we do a revert, what should not be reverted besides copyright lines
and whitespace changes?

I consider the simple patch a bit too hackish.
