I checked the 2.24 sources, and glibc assumes idtype_t is defined in
<sys/wait.h>.  “make install” assumes the path for that is
/usr/include/sys/wait.h, but that's not correct if the system uses
multi-arch paths.

Yes, changing the subject is not sufficient.  Apparently, you need to
start a new message from scratch in your mail client, and paste the
list address into that.

Please keep the thread on the mailing list.
