But the generated cml.client.c, cml.server.c, and cml.multi.c are not
used anywhere so it is not useful to compile and link them. Only the
cml.h file is used by the CML packing and unpacking routines in venus
and vice to construct the log that is sent during reintegration.

I believe that the problem with vcrcommon.rpc2 was that it only
generates headers, and therefore these expansions,

 RP2CLOBJ = $(notdir ${RP2FILES:.rpc2=.client.o})
 RP2SROBJ = $(notdir ${RP2FILES:.rpc2=.server.o})

would add vcrcommon.client.o to RP2CLOBJS, etc. But as there is no
vcrcommon.client.c file, this results in a build error.
