svc_getreqset() is a Sun RPC call.  It checks for any activity on the
the file descriptors passed to it and dispatches them to the appropriate
RPC handler.  If you are not using Sun RPC it will be safe to chop
this out using #ifdef blocks.  I thought that the XView source distribution
already had a special preprocessor symbol that could be defined if RPC was
not available that took care of this but I don't have the source handy to
check.

PS. DEC have Sun RPC on the DECstation (NFS works using RPC) but don't
make it available to the end user.  IMHO this is rather unsocial of them.
