The NetBSD Security Advisory 2003-008 says "... restart running instances
of programs that use the libc rpc library after upgrading." And "If you
have any statically-linked binaries that linked against a vulnerable libc
and uses rpc, you need to recompile them."

And the solution shows rebuilding libc.

What about libamu (of am-utils)? I believe it uses xdrmem_create(). But
maybe it is okay if it uses new libc.

What about librpcsvc? It uses other xdr code.

Anything else?
