Our devel/boost uses waitid(2) but OpenBSD does not implement it yet.

Brad (boost co-maintainer) has found out the following, which I would like to share here and ask for feedback: waitid(2) is part of newer POSIX. Looks like waitid(2) was introduced around Boost 1.69. https://github.com/boostorg/process/commits/develop/include/boost/process/detail/posix/wait_group.hpp https://github.com/boostorg/process/commit/eea73753b572ec5df69b2a624cbacf7569fde835 NetBSD imported it in 2016: https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/1abafffcad6331f872b7d8e74ea533ed83e864b4 Is there anything against importing this into OpenBSD? Does anyone have this in their diff stack already? I would love to test it with an port witch depends on boot/process.hpp Rafael
