It is not a completely trivial recompile, since some of the data structures have changed a little bit. I don't know whether removing from glibc is a great idea because of this aspect. The new TIRPC code is not 100% compatible (for example, struct XDR has some differences in the xdr_ops). I personally think that adding '__attribute__ (( __deprecated__ ))' to all the function prototypes in /usr/include/rpc/*.h would be a good first step, and also add a comment to the header files directing people to port their code to the new tirpc API. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
