Is this a known error? I would really appreciate if someone could give

Not known, and as it is a POSIX construction almost all OSes have it.

Hmmm. It seems its implementation in FreeBSD (CURRENT) is a little different from other OSes?

Can you try (in sysutils.c and sys-unix.c) replacing

#ifdef HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H

by

#if defined(HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H) && defined(WEXITSTATUS)

?

Yes, with this patch in both files all works again. I tried it with gcc-4.4.5 and gcc-4.5.2. Is there any chance to get it in the release (R-2.12.0)?

Yes, of course.  (After a little more testing on other platforms.)
