You can simply extract the rebuilt mount.nfs command instead of

For mount.nfs to be picked up automatically by mount, mount.nfs needs
to be at /sbin/mount.nfs, correct?
I haven't looked at that part of the mount command, but usually
distributors will cede that detail to the package maintainers to
reduce the number of patches they have to apply.
Let's assume /sbin is the correct place for mount.nfs, unless someone
complains loudly.
In the instructions, I'll recommend
that the binary be copied as follows:
$ sudo cp utils/mount/mount.nfs /sbin/mount.nfs
The tcp_wrappers package is needed to build nfs-utils in any case,
so it would
be helpful to mention that too.
I'd like to leave that detail to the nfs-utils README. Does that sound
reasonable?
If you're going to provide a blanket pointer to the nfs-utils README
for building it, and omit any specific instructions from nfs-rdma.txt
(aside from copying the mount.nfs executable), that sounds reasonable.
