The support for RPC in glibc is to go away [1, 2] and it seems that dev-perl/Ace implicitly depends on it. The way this dependence manifested itself for me was a build failure on a Gentoo Prefix on Mac -- which does not have glibc installed and uses the Apple's libc library instead. (The problem was not finding rpcgen binary, details to be attached) Emerging net-libs/rpcsvc-proto fixed this particular build failure -- however a generic solution is discussed in detail in [2] [1] https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/034dbef0c206eba696c47c4daf2c7ce8 [2] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Toolchain/RPC_implementation

Created attachment 503550 [details] The ebuild file used The ebuild had to be modified slightly for Prefix-specific reasons. The change is the generation of "DARWIN_DEF" file within src_prepare(). That file defines the compiler and linker commands to be used on a Darwin (i.e. MacOS) system, and will be included by the Makefile. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/637102
