[issue32521] NIS module fails to build due to the remove of interfaces related to Sun RPC from glibc.

[Charalampos Stratakis]

New submission from Charalampos Stratakis <cstratak at redhat.com>:

Currently on the development branch of Fedora (28), an upstream change of glibc is being pushed where the Sun RPC support is removed from our downstream glibc package in favor of the libtirpc library. More details [0].

As a result, when python is trying to build the nis extension, it will complain with:
fatal error: rpc/rpc.h: No such file or directory
#include <rpc/rpc.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
