xdr_float.o is broken on pre 4.x versions of ULTRIX software, so that might
be your problem.  The source version of xdr_float.c as distributed by Sun
doesn't have support for little-endian IEEE machines.  Funny, it does
support VAXen, though!  Anyway, here's a version I kludged together which
compiles and works (for me, at least).

Enjoy!
