WIFEXITED and WEXITSTATUS are macros usually defined in
/usr/include/sys/wait.h and these macros should have been expanded
during the compilation stage of parse.c.
At first have a look in config.h in /home/jilderda/shed/konstruct/misc/pkgconfig/work/pkgconfig-0.15.0
whether the macro HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H is defined to 1. If not have a look at
config.log what went wrong and why the configure test didn't succeed.
Then remove parse.o and run make in order to build it again. On my system it
is running this command to compile parse.c:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DPKGLIBDIR="\"/usr/lib/pkgconfig\""
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -g -O2 -c parse.c
If make doesn't succeed you should just pre-process the input file and have
a look at what gets included and why these macros aren't defined by
running the command manually with specifying "-E -dD" instead of "-g -O2 -c"
in the command line you see when running make. You might want to pipe the
output through less or into a file.
Perhaps you should post your question again to a pkg-config or Konstruct
specific forum / mailing list as this is not per se a GCC issue.
