I take that back.  Replacing u_long with rpcvers_t will work in both
cases. glibc's CLNT_CONTROL expects a u_long here, but TI-RPC expects an u_int32_t. These match the typedef for rpcvers_t for each of these.

So, you have to make sure you are building with the headers that go
with your RPC library. The headers in /usr/include/rpc go with glibc,
and the headers in /usr/include/tirpc/rpc go with libtirpc.

Ok, here's a patch that implements it that way. It works fine on PPC64.

This fixes a problem where "rpcinfo -T transport host prognum" fails on a PPC64 because CLNT_CONTROL expects the version number to be a 32 bit quantity. u_long probably works fine on little endian machines, but won't work on big endian
machines.

Thanks for testing.

The description is somewhat incorrect, though. TI-RPC's CLNT_CONTROL expects the version number to be a 32-bit quantity. glibc's RPC implementation of CLNT_CONTROL is just dandy with u_long. I think that does bear some emphasis in the description.

Changing the types of these variables means that this code will now work unchanged with both glibc and TI-RPC (with a recompile, of course).
