AFAIK Linux is the only OS where this is needed specifically because
only there (and it's not entirely consistent across distributions last
time I checked) did the SUN TI RPC get ripped out of the base operating
environment and dumped into a separate library. 

So we'd end up with a NOT_FOR list that is essentially "any OS currently
supported by pkgsrc that is not Linux".

Kind regards,
