Both of these problems are due to ordering problems in the Makefile,
which can be fixed in the 'world' target, but don't really fit into the
current model used.
You need to build and install rpcgen *before* the include files are
built. There is also a dependency problem with either the libraries or
the crt0.o file (I don't remember which one is first.)
It basically boils down to the fact that we *should* be building the
sources out of the src tree and not out of the stuff in
/usr/{lib|include} etc... (Which I've argued against in the past as
un-necessary and complex, but I think we've now reached critical mass
and require it.)

I haven't tried -stable yet, but I may get time today. :)
