Seems I accidentally omitted gluster-users in my first reply.

Miuku on #opensuse-buildservice poked around and found that the unbundled
rpcgen in SLE_15 comes from the rpcsvc-proto rpm. (Not the rpcgen rpm as it
does in Fedora and RHEL8.)

All the gluster community packages for SLE_15 going back to glusterfs-5.0
in October 2018 have used the unbundled rpcgen. You can do the same, or
remove the BuildRequires: rpcgen line and use the glibc bundled rpcgen.
