Re: [OE-core] [PATCH v3 1/2] ntirpc: Add ntirpc recipe

[Paulo Neves <ptsneves@gmail.com>]

libntirpc is not compatible with libtirpc. Some work would make it so, 
but it is not a trivial change, i tried it :)

Not only the API is different, the pkgconfig presents itself as ntirpc 
whereas most dependencies of litbtirpc specifically try to detect 
libtirpc. A good summary of the differences and the feasibility is in 
this page [1].

I can break the extending of liburcu into another commit no problem.

I was able to break the circular dependency as well, with a patch that 
is already for review upstream.
