I hope we can get to removing sunrpc / libnsl *for new architectures /
ABIs* (that is, for such architectures and ABIs not building the code even
as compat symbols and not supporting the configure options to enable it,
so it doesn't form part of the ABI baselines for those configurations).
For existing architectures / ABIs it needs to stay (as compat symbols) for
ABI compatibility (in the absence of SONAME changes).
