The rpcbind program is a replacement for portmap. It is required for import or export of Network File System (NFS) shared directories.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

In order to get rpcbind to work properly, first fix the package to use correct service name:
sed -i "/servname/s:rpcbind:sunrpc:" src/rpcbind.c
Install rpcbind by running the following commands:
patch -Np1 -i ../rpcbind-1.2.7-vulnerability_fixes-1.patch && ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --bindir=/usr/sbin \ --with-rpcuser=root \ --enable-warmstarts \ --without-systemdsystemunitdir && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
--with-rpcuser=root: This works around an error in the configure script.
--without-systemdsystemunitdir: This version of BLFS does not support systemd.
Install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/rpcbind
init script
included in the blfs-bootscripts-20240913 package.
make install-rpcbind
