We use the native version of rpcgen everywhere.

This is true of our CI systems, but not true of user environments.

For our Mingw CI we're able to run the Linux native rpcgen since we're cross compiling.

For someone using MSys to build natively for mingw, only portablexdr-rpcgen will be available, so we can't drop this.

I wonder how broken that setup is, given that it has zero CI coverage. Anyway, fair point, let's not go out of our way to break things :) v2 here: https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/thread/MLESR... -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
