Fixed, thanks.

>Furthermore, rpcgen seems to produce code which fails to compile:

RTFM:

     -b      Compile stubs in "backwards compatible" mode, disabling support
             for transport-independent RPC.  The -b should always be specified
             when generating files for NetBSD, since there is no transport-
             independent RPC support in NetBSD.

Perhaps we should make this the default since I don't think we ever want
to use tli.
