FYI my patch "scotty-local-2.1.0-v0.Patch" wasn't intended to fix any
problems on BSDI-1.1 -- it only fixes some shared library things related
to SunOS-4.1 (BSDI-1.1 doesn't have shared libraries), and some things I
didn't like about the startup sequence and environment initialisation.

I suspect this is because BSDI-1.1 has some rather antiquated RPC code.

Your best bet might be to upgrade to the current BSDI release, or
perhaps to try forcing the configure script to disable Sun RPC usage.
