Perhaps, but it might just be old.  "rpcgen" changed between the first
SunOS 3.x release in which it appeared, and the SunOS 4.0 release; the
NFSSRC3.x and NFSSRC4.0 versions, and the rpc3.x and rpc4.0 versions,
may also differ in the same way.  I don't remember what the changes
were, but one of them may have been the appearance of "const".
