Hello,

I'm getting the following errors while trying to build asyn on FreeBSD 10

The final error:

I tried my best to find references to this.  I see there was some issues with mac os x and their RPC a long while ago, but I've built recent versions of asyn on os x without troubles.  Typing "man rpc" into os x and freeBSD give similar man pages, so something is there for both of them.

Perhaps the only fishy thing is this:

EPICS expects gcc, while FreeBSD ships with clang.  I installed gcc/g++ 4.8 into /usr/local/bin and then soft-linked them to /usr/bin.  This allowed me to build base without any errors, but then I ran into these troubles with asyn.

Ideas?
