             Bug #: 13625
           Summary: xdr_* definitions missing from libc.a
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.14
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: johncass@blueyonder.co.uk
    Classification: Unclassified


I am trying to compile Samba 3.6.1 using gcc 4.6.2 / glibc 2.14.1

>From make:

    Linking bin/smbd
    lib/sysquotas_nfs.o: In function `my_xdr_getquota_args':
    sysquotas_nfs.c:(.text+0x1a): undefined reference to `xdr_string'
    sysquotas_nfs.c:(.text+0x2f): undefined reference to `xdr_int'

I found two Google references which suggested that libc.a does not contain the
xdr_* references.  I checked this out with version 2.11.1 of glibc; both static
and shared libraries in 2.11.1 contain xdr_int but only the shared library in
2.14.1 contains this reference.

I haven't been able to find a workaround but I am puzzled that libc_pic.a does
contain these references while libc.a does not as the dependencies in the
makefiles look the same.

>From NEWS:

Version 2.14
...
* The RPC implementation in libc is obsoleted.  Old programs keep working
  but new programs cannot be linked with the routines in libc anymore.
  Programs in need of RPC functionality must be linked against TI-RPC.
  The TI-RPC implementation is IPv6 enabled and there are other benefits.
