It seems that glib>=2.26 is getting rid of the old SunRPC which included rpc.h in /usr/include/rpc/rpc.h. Now RPC will be supported by the tirpc and ntirpc libraries, which place rpc.h in /usr/include/tirpc/rpc/rpc.h Gentoo Wiki glib 2.26. While the information in the link is Gentoo-specific, the issue seems applicable in a wider basis and even in pythonc repostiories there are some references to it here.
I have been working on a patch for python-cmake-buildsystem that seems to work properly. I will pull-request real soon.
