https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3166

            Bug ID: 3166
           Summary: How to undefine HAVE_RPC_TYPES_H during
"./configure"
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.2p1
          Hardware: ARM64
                OS: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Build system
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: fqin at sonicwall.com

I want to undefine HAVE_RPC_TYPES_H to resolve a compile error. But I
don't find some options like "--without" to do that.

Could you tell how to disable it?

HAVE_RPC_TYPES_H is defined when the header file exists and it's not
something that was intended to be user-overridden.  I guess you could
remove the header file.

What's the error and is that fixable instead?

rpc/types.h was added in this commit:

commit 7577fd83c16ef3415b61ca1bea1b14e1ab8e4228
Author: Ben Lindstrom <mouring at eviladmin.org>
Date:   Fri Mar 8 03:11:07 2002 +0000

     - (bal) Add in check for rpc/types.h since it is needed on
       some platforms for INADDR_LOOPBACK.  We should retest
       SCO 3 to see if this fixes their problem also.

Assuming that's still all it's needed for, there would be a couple of
options: only including it if INADDR_LOOPBACK is not defined, or
defining INADDR_LOOPBACK ourselves.

I'm still not sure what problem we're trying to solve, though.
