  For now, I am only trying to get nfs version 3 to work.
  
  # mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 lfs6:/home/bdubbs /mnt/test
     [ mounts OK ]
  # mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 localhost:/usr/src /mnt/tmp
  # mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

It doesn't explain the error message you're getting, but your exports file
doesn't have an entry for localhost.  When I try this I get "mount.nfs:
access denied by server while mounting localhost:/usr/src".

  2. Build libtirpc
     Remove auth_des.c authdes_prot.c des_crypt.c from Makefile
     Comment out authdes_create() in rpc_soc.c
     ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib

This shouldn't be necessary.  Instead of working around the problem, it
would be nice if you could figure out why you needed to do this, and if
there is a bug in the configure magic, let us know.
