I'm surprised that --enable-obsolete-nsl is not broken by this. I would
have expected that we would have to move that one first. Don't the
installed headers for libnsl use rpc headers?

everything into compat symbols. (Further changes are required to avoid
building the compatibility symbols for new ports.)

Is there anything in the Makefile log or the .out file? I agree that
this change should not break this test.
Thanks,
