Yes you are right, it is a broken release of rpcgen. The problem was
discussed some time ago on this list (and reported to the maintainer
of rpcgen), and was not restricted to redhat installations.
Using an older oder newer rpcgen version solves this problem (or
changing the bogus lines in the generated files by hand ;-).
