- wait3 is in the BSD side of things. There are several ways
- to get at it. If you got through the compilation ok, you probably
- just need to add -lbsd to your link.

- Just FYI, there is also a -systype flag that takes "sysv" or "bsd43"
- to get either the system V or BSD includes and libraries.
