The current lynx 2.8.4dev6 source code fails to compile under AIX 4.3
due to a type mismatch in HTTCP.c if the option --enable-nsl-fork is
used. See the output below. This is easyly fixed by checking the
preprocessor variable HAVE_TYPE_UNIONWAIT like in LYLocal.c. The
variable is correctly set by the ./configure script.
I've included a patch to HTTCP.c which fixes the problem.
