A well known problem.  I use the ones from my host's (a Sun) library.
I include them in the kernel by making the following changes to the
kernel Makefile:

change
EXTRA_MODULES = -u _ls -u _setjmp

to
EXTRA_MODULES = -u _ls -u _setjmp -u _xdr_float -u _xdr_double -u _xdr_char\
 -u _xdr_u_char -u Fadds -u Mund


xdr_float is also undefined.  Fadds and Mund are missing floating point
routines.
