You need to use the legacy libtirpc library. It is not compatible with libntirpc, which is what you get by default on modern Linux.

These are the steps I used to get it to build:

Begin by installing the development package for the library, as well as libreadline, e.g. on Debian and derivatives (Kali, Ubuntu, etc.):

$ sudo apt install libtirpc-dev libreadline-dev

After installing the library and headers, you will likely need to create links between the old/traditional location of the headers and where modern versions of Linux install them. e.g. on a Kali VM:

sudo ln -s /usr/include/tirpc/netconfig.h /usr/include/netconfig.h
sudo ln -s /usr/include/tirpc/rpc/auth.h /usr/include/rpc/auth.h
sudo ln -s /usr/include/tirpc/rpc/auth_des.h /usr/include/rpc/auth_des.h
sudo ln -s /usr/include/tirpc/rpc/auth_stat.h /usr/include/rpc/auth_stat.h

FYI I've updated the makefile to use tirpc - does this help?
