Little warning for those updating to glibc 2.14. The RPC was dropped and 
moved to libtirpc. So apps using RPC will fail with <rpc/rpc.h> file 
missing because it does not exist. It was moved to libtirpc but now it 
appears in other locaction than rpc/ directory so apps will still not find 
it without patching. Another hack to compile successfuly RPC app is to use 
linker param -ltirpc to link tirpc library.

Another issue for glibc-2.14 is libtirpc build will fail because of 
missing:
fatal error: rpcsvc/nis.h: No such file or directory
which was also removed from glibc 2.14. Here is bug at libtirpc:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3311050&group_id=183075&atid=903784
no patch or fix present yet.

For those who would like to play with glibc-2.14 here is patch. You can 
apply it on Lunar's glibc-2.12.2 module on zlocal. It works fine on all of 
my 3 Lunars until you would like to compile app which uses RPC like 
kdebase4-runtime for example:
/usr/src/kdebase-runtime-4.6.4/kioslave/nfs/kio_nfs.h:33:21: fatal error: 
rpc/rpc.h: No such file or directory

have a nice day,
