AFAICS that thread is the extent of it.

No, I think that would just be Eric's schedule.

The issue is an upstream one, and as you note, exists even on glibc 
platforms.  The function originates in sunrpc code, which is now 
maintained as libtirpc, but because it was treated as a generic 
networking function in glibc (declared in <netinet/in.h>), it is still 
provided even if the now-obsolete RPC code is not (IOW if glibc is 
configured w/o --enable-obsolete-rpc).

Since these are just redundant declarations and not conflicting ones, 
each existing for good reason, and the identical situation exists on 
glibc platforms, I don't think this is really an issue that needs to be 
addressed at this time.  If a real-world failure does occur, we can 
reassess the situation then.
