Yep, It's a bug in the rpcgen of NetKit-0.09. The maintainer (David
Holland) allready knows about it. It'll be fixed in NetKit-0.10.
Here is a piece of the mail I sent him:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that the following in NetKit-0.09/rpcgen/rpc_cout.c:
(I couldn't find a newer version)
/* dholland 12/29/96 add (void)buf to avoid gcc warnings if buf unused */
f_print(fout, "\t register long *buf;\n(void)buf;\n\n");
instead of this in NetKit-B-0.08/rpcgen/rpc_cout.c:
f_print(fout, "\t register long *buf;\n\n");
causes that wrong code is generated for the file "ether.x" from the
scotty Network Management package.
