And, whereas the RPC symbols are still present (as compat symbols or
normal symbols depending on configure options) in glibc ports postdating
their deprecation, normal cases of deprecated symbols such as these won't
be. So the test needs to be disabled in some way for ports with least
symbol version 2.20 or later, if the symbols are deprecated for 2.20.
