Description

Maintainer: (not found in Makefile)
Environment: mips, rbm33g, snapshot
Description:
when compiling busybox with inetd remote support, it needs a rpc/rpc.h header which is not installed by default.
In order to fix this, libtirpc dependency is required, as well as adding -I$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/include/tirpc to the busybox CFLAGS, as well as adding -ltirpc to LDLIBS

No file or test is named. Start by locating the BusyBox inetd build configuration and checking how OpenWrt stages libtirpc headers and libraries; done means inetd remote support compiles successfully on the reported environment without a missing rpc/rpc.h header.
