Consider restoring rarpd for booting sparc machines #521

@thesamesam

Description

@thesamesam

We had a downstream report at https://bugs.gentoo.org/911228 noting the rarpd removal which we discussed/agreed to in #363.

It appears a user relies on this for booting their SPARC machine. Is there any interest in restoring rarpd back into the iputils project? We can live with it if not, just figured I should ask before deciding on anything.

Nick Bowler, the reporter of the bug, has extracted rarpd from the last iputils version with it, fwiw: http://draconx.ca/projects/rarpd-dx/.
