Build v8.0.36 on RHEL 9 Fails With Unresolved xdr_ Symbols

[William Jastrow]

After downloading the source for v8.0.36, building Boost v1.77 (per CMake), and then generating makefile, a lengthy build results in (excerpt):

with a series of unresolved references to xdr_ symbols.

Presumably, there is a cmake option (possibly a make option) to overcome this?

The source that contains these symbols is readily available and does not seem to be referenced??

I would appreciate any guidance or assistance.

Thanks,

Bill
