Sorry, I missed this patch.
This is problematic and your patch would only temporarily fix it.
If glibc adds a P_PIDFD to the enum we'll run into the same issue.
So please:
- remove the linux/wait.h header (as you've already done here)
- add a custom define for P_PIDFD under a different name, e.g.:
  #ifndef __P_PIDFD
  #define __P_PIDFD 3
  #endif
  and add a comment above it explaining the reason for this mess.


Thanks and (_ugh_)
Christian
