Added .if ${LIB} == "c" tests to restrict man page builds to libc
to avoid needlessly building them with libc_r too.
Split libc Makefile into Makefile and Makefile.inc to allow the
libc_r Makefile to include Makefile.inc too.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

- bump the SIOCGIFCONF buffer size from 1K to 8K
- if we didn't find a suitable address, return a failure. Previously
if it didn't find anything it left the return address uninitialised.
Perhaps it would be better to return AF_INET/111/127.0.0.1 rather than
failing?
(There may be a behavior difference between the 2.1 and 2.2/3.0 kernels
in this area, it seemed to work for me but I have a horribly hacked
select() that might have a bug in the handling of this)

Restore the clamp on the return value from rpc_dtablesize().. Some programs
(eg: ypserv) use this as an indication of how large svc_fdset is in their
hand-rolled svc_run() loops. The svc_fdset table is maintained by the
rpc library explicitly for compatability with such programs. (It uses
a different variable-sized bitmap itself internally)

Note: potential bug here, It looks like there could be a null pointer
dereference depending on what has already been called to initialise some
shared data.

Obtained from: a diff of FreeBSD vs. OpenBSD/NetBSD rpc code.
Note, there was a nasty bug with our old code here. It would trash the
stack if a fd > 31 was passed in. It was using a "long" as though it
was an "fd_set", ie: it was assuming that a long was 256 bits wide. :-(
This has been lurking here for a while, since the FD_SETSIZE #ifdef's
were first implemented.

5. Corrected format specifier in printf().
6. Added extra parentheses around assignment used as truth value.
7. Added missing "default" cases in switch statements.
8. Added casts for function pointers.
9. Did *not* change int declarations of uid and gid to uid_t/gid_t
because I don't know if that would affect the protocol. Put in
explicit casts to int instead, to make things more obvious.

Back out the 'help NIS rebind faster' hack. This change used a
connect()/send() pair rather than the original sendto() to allow
RPC to pass ICMP host unreachable and similar errors up to RPC
programs that use UDP. This is not a terrible thing by itself, but it can
cause trouble in environments with multi-homed hosts: if the portmapper
on the multi-homed machine sends a reply with a source address
that's different than the one associated with the connection by
connect(), the kernel will send a port unreachable message and
drop the reply. For the sake of compatibility with everybody else
on the planet, it's best to revert to the old behavior.
*long, heavy sigh*
select() returns EINVAL if you try to feed it a value of FD_SETSIZE greater
that 256. You can apparently adjust this by specifying a larger value of
FD_SETSIZE when configuring your kernel. However, if you set the maximum
number of open file descriptors per process to some value greater than
the FD_SETSIZE value that select() expects, many selects() within the RPC
library code will be botched because _rpc_dtablesize() will return
invalid numbers. This is to say that it will return the upper descriptor
table size limit which can be much higher than 256. Unless select() is
prepared to expect this 'unusually' high value, it will fail. (A good
example of this can be seen with NIS enabled: if you type 'unlimit' at
the shell prompt and then run any command that does NIS calls, you'll
be bombarded with errors from clnttcp_create().)
A temporary fix for this is to clamp the value returned by _rpc_dtablesize()
at FD_SETSIZE (as defined in <sys/types.h> (256)). I suppose the Right
Thing would be to provide some mechanism for select() to dynamically
adjust itself to handle FD_SETSIZE values larger than 256, but it's a
bit late in the game for that. Hopefully 256 file descriptors will be enough
to keep RPC happy for now.

Have you been plagued by long waits when your NIS server is rebooted?
READ ON!
Sun has a patch, but the README says:
********************* WARNING ******************************
This is a new version of ypbind that never uses the NIS
binding file to cache the servers binding. This will have
the effect of fixing the current symptom. However, it might
degrade the overall performance of the system when the
server is available. This is most likely to happen on an
overloaded server, which will cause the network to produce
a broadcast storm.
*************************************************************
Therefor, I have produced another fix.
o What goes wrong.
When the NIS server is rebooted, ypserv will obtain different ports
to listen for RPC requests. All clients will continue to use the old
binding they obtained earlier. The NIS server will send ICMP dst unreachable
messages for the RPC requests that arrive at the old port. These ICMPs
are dropped on the floor and the client code will continue sending the
requests until the timer has expired. The small fix at the end of this
message will pick up these ICMP messages and deliver them to the RPC layer.
o Before and after.
I've tested this on some machines and this is the result:
(kill and restart ypserv on the server)
original% time ypmatch user passwd
user:....
0.040u 0.090s 2:35.64 0.0% 0+126k 0+0io 0pf+0w (155 seconds elapsed time)

user:....
0.050u 0.050s 0:10.20 0.9% 0+136k 0+0io 0pf+0w (10 seconds elapsed time)
Rebinding is almost instantaneous.
o Other benefits.
RPC calls that use UDP as transport will no longer time out but
will abort much sooner. (E.g., the remote host is unreachable or
111/udp is filtered by an intermediate router)
