>Description:
	While porting the stuff in lib/libc/rpc to Tru64 5.1a I noticed
	lots of warnings about "promoting to different type". I even got
	compile errors on /usr/src/lib/libc/rpc/clnt_vc.c.

	/usr/src/include/rpc/clnt.h says (as does rpc_clnt_create(3))

extern CLIENT *clnt_vc_create __P((const int, const struct netbuf *,
				   const rpcprog_t, const rpcvers_t,
				   const u_int, const u_int));

	/usr/src/lib/libc/rpc/clnt_vc.c says

CLIENT *
clnt_vc_create(fd, raddr, prog, vers, sendsz, recvsz)
	int fd;
	const struct netbuf *raddr;
	rpcprog_t prog;
	rpcvers_t vers;
	u_int sendsz;
	u_int recvsz;
{
[ and near the and of this function which generated an error from the
  Compaq C compiler ]
	sendsz = __rpc_get_t_size(si.si_af, si.si_proto, (int)sendsz);
	recvsz = __rpc_get_t_size(si.si_af, si.si_proto, (int)recvsz);



>How-To-Repeat:
	Compile lib/libc/rpc on Tru64 5.1a with the Compaq C compiler.
>Fix:
	constify the stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc/rpc like /usr/src/include/rpc
	or
	deconstify the stuff in /usr/src/include/rpc and change the manual
	page accordingly.
