It failed for me on this setup as well. It seems that the problem is
glibc-2.1-obj/elf/ld-linux.so.2 and not rpcgen. When the compile failed
I replaced ld-linux.so.2 with a working one (compiled earlier without
--enable-omitfp), touched it, and ran make again. The compile finished
fine. I've tried running a few programs with the resulting libc.so. No
problems so far. So it may look like it's just ld-linux.so that fails.
