Okay then, I must have just missed where you patched addarg().  Sorry
for the noise.

Does it need to be?  Won't the cpp run by rpcgen always be the NetBSD
cpp?  Even if cross-building from non-NetBSD, surely rpcgen will be
running the cross-build cpp (= NetBSD-source-tree code) rather than the
build OS's native cpp?

Or have I misunderstood how cross-build tools work?
