This should be OK, believe it or not - the sunrpc headers use older
(K&R) style function prototypes. Some information if you're interested:

It shouldn't. This is part of the sunrpc library - you shouldn't have
to rebuild it.
Instead, you should be able to use the clnttcp_create() function from
the library by including <rpc/rpc.h> in your source file, and linking to
the rpc libraries by using -lrpc. For example:
/*
Compile: gcc -o rpc-example.exe rpc-example.c -lrpc
*/
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
clnttcp_create(NULL, 0, 0, NULL, 0, 0);
return 0;
}
Note that the above doesn't actually do anything useful - it just shows
you how to include the rpc headers, and compile and link to the rpc
libraries.
