Thank you.
This fixed it:
- $(CC) $^ $(LD_LIBS) -o $@
+ $(CC) $(LD_LIBS) -o $@ $^
Now I'm trying to understand why rpcbind fails at
/usr/src/debug/rpcbind-1.2.5-1/src/rpcbind.c:287, even when run from an
elevated command prompt:
268 if((p = getpwnam(id)) == NULL) {
269 syslog(LOG_ERR, "cannot get uid of '%s': %m", id);
270 exit(1);
271 }
...
285 if (setuid(p->pw_uid) == -1) {
286 syslog(LOG_ERR, "setuid to '%s' (%d) failed:
%m", id, p->pw_uid);
287 exit(1);
288 }
I do find this:
Under "Switching the user context", https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html
says

Based on skim of the this source, that implies that this rpcbind would never
work which doesn't make sense.
