[gentoo-user] nfs-utils update fails to compile: missing rpc/auth_gss.h

[Grant Edwards]

During a routine update, emerge failed to compile nfs-utils:

  [...]

  context.c:40:26: fatal error: rpc/auth_gss.h: No such file or directory
   #include <rpc/auth_gss.h>
                          ^
  compilation terminated.
  make[2]: *** [Makefile:660: gssd-context.o] Error 1
  make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/net-fs/nfs-utils-1.3.4-r1/work/nfs-utils-1.3.4/utils/gssd'

   * ERROR: net-fs/nfs-utils-1.3.4-r1::gentoo failed (compile phase):

And gcc is correct: there is no such include file:

  $ ls -l /usr/include/rpc

I've been googling, but haven't been able to find anything that looks
relevent other than a Sabayon user posting on a Gentoo list/forum
many years ago about the exact same error message.

He was told to go away.

Where is rpc/auth_gss.h supposed to come from, and why does the
nfs-utils ebuild suddenly expect it to be present?
