The culprit is not gcc 4.4.2, it is... you, of course :-)
Because you have installed gcc in /usr/local instead of /usr.

rpcgen is stupid and does not look for cpp in the PATH.
Instead it searches it in the following directories:
- /usr/bin
- /usr/ccs/lib
- The directory specified by the -Y argument

See the rpcgen sources, in function find_cpp():
http://www.atariforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb/mintlib/sunrpc/rpc_main.c?rev=1.3&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

The gcc -print-file-name command line you hit seem bogus to me and 
probably turns into an empty option in any case. So it works only if gcc 
is installed in /usr.

As rpcgen is a standard tool we should avoid to change its behaviour.

I propose the following change:
In mintlib/sunrpc/Makefile, replace the rpcgen-cmd variable by:

rpcgen-cmd = $(srcdir)/rpcgen -Y `which cpp | sed -e "s,/cpp$,,"`

If it works, we should commit it, as it allows to compile the MiNTLib 
with gcc (and cpp) installed in any directory.
