I have simple ONC RPC client and server that build on Ubuntu with rpcgen "(Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.7)

Naively, it appears that Ubuntu has a much newer version (2.31) than Cygwin 
(1.4). Is this the problem?

gzip'ed cygcheck output and the test program and makefile are attached.

I suspect the problem here is due to the position of '-ltirpc' in the compiler command line. Moving it to after the .o files might help.
See https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.linker for details why.
