Hello,
unfortunately my build process fails with the following error message.

What can I do?

Not much unless you're proficient with cross compilation and GNU autoconf.

Could you provide the contents of /home/stefan.harbich/Downloads/tp-link/openwrt/build_dir/hostpkg/nfs-utils-2.5.4/config.log after the build failed?

The file will be very long, so ideally only paste a few dozen lines surrounding occurrences of rpc.h.

I would like to see why it could not get compiled. Your grep rpc filtered those surrounding lines. Maybe retry with grep -C 10 rpc.h

I added that nfs-kernel-server to the message thread title, so that people actually understand the context... Hopefully someone using that package may notice this.
