Could you elaborate on what's needed from this file? It's definitely a
bug for any program to be using the stuff in cdefs.h, which is pretty
much all double-underscore-prefixed macros for internal use by glibc
to facilitate compiling in pre-ANSI C compilers, which is almost
certainly not going to work anyway. Is TI-RPC working on other
non-GNU/Linux systems, which probably don't have this header?
