Hi, UnixPC ships with a wait.h for the wrong endianness. This patch provides a local replacement (triggered by absence WEXITSTATUS flag) After having applied the patches until and including this one, it should compile for UnixPC, but not yet work. The next couple of patches address issues that only become apparent at runtime or optional features. Edit: but there is an amendment *here*. The "bad" sys/wait.h problem is apparently more general than just AT&T Unix PC, and autoconf has a specific test for this condition (and simply ignores sys/wait.h if it is bad). This new version of the patch follows the approach given in https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Particular-Headers.html Regards, Alain diff -X ../exclude.txt -urN dash-0.5.12+13-wait3-replacement/configure.ac dash-0.5.12+14-broken-wait-h/configure.ac --- dash-0.5.12+13-wait3-replacement/configure.ac 2024-11-10 20:26:19.105474215 +0000 +++ dash-0.5.12+14-broken-wait-h/configure.ac 2024-11-17 18:36:24.270333145 +0000 @@ -46,6 +46,7 @@ dnl Checks for header files.
