Thanks a lot for looking into the issue.
BTW on which Fedora/RHEL/CentOS version did you test?

No, I'm also using the official LTP repository on github [1].
And I compile on recent glibc (> 2.32, which removed SUN-RPC) and with libtirpc:

./configure
...
libtirpc: yes
glibc SUN-RPC: no

That was released on 1.3.3, but I'm able to reproduce it on
Debian stable  11 (bullseye) with libtirpc 1.3.1-1.
