I had a quick look in Buildroot to see which packages currently only
work with "native RPC" (i.e provided by the C library) and not with
libtirpc. Notice that when I say don't work, I mean "not supported by
Buildroot", which doesn't mean that the package cannot handle libtirpc,
just that it is not done in Buildroot.

 - autofs, depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC only

 - openvmtools, depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC only

 - portmap, obviously. But I believe we could get rid of this package
   entirely, it is deprecated and rpcbind is the official replacement.

 - samba4, depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC only

And that's it. So it leaves three packages to really analyze and see
the impact.

Best regards,

Thomas
