The line before that mentions

> cannot find any C preprocessor (cpp)

although the configure mentions both

> checking how to run the C preprocessor... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E
> checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -E

It appears the rpcgen command needs the parameter -Y /usr/bin
