John,

  Thanks for the effort you put into this - unfortunately, I'm
a bit leery of applying such a significant patch without a
better understanding of what the exact problem is.

  Additionally, it looks like there are a lot of formatting
changes in the patch you provided, ex:

> -	XDR_ENCODE=0,
> 
> -	XDR_DECODE=1,
> 
> -	XDR_FREE=2
> 
> +  XDR_ENCODE = 0,
> 
> +  XDR_DECODE = 1,
> 
> +  XDR_FREE = 2

  This makes me suspect that this is not really a patch, but
just a diff against an existing linux rpc/xdr.h file.  I'd be
happy to update the sunrpc package to match the linux headers,
but I suspect that I would have to update more than just one
file to keep everything consistent. Were you able to rebuild
the sunrpc package from source with these changes in place?
