where is the definition of idtype_t supposed to live?

I recently built and installed glibc-2.24 myself and hit a problem while
compiling an application which calls wait() :
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/wait.h:148:20: error: unknown type
name ‘idtype_t’
extern int waitid (idtype_t __idtype, __id_t __id, siginfo_t *__infop,
^
After a bit of research I see that :
version defined in
2.19 sys/wait.h ## where one might it expect it to
live since its only reference is in here
2.21 sys/waitflags.h ## strange home as it is an enum for
an input parm, not a WAITFLAG
2.24 ??? ## after a make install into an
install_root, I do not see it defined anywhere under the install_root
After adding the missing definition into the sys/wait.h for 2.24, all is
well again.
I see it is present in the sources in glibc-2.24/posix/sys/wait.h but
make somehow constructed some other one :
maybe related to this line
evaluate-test.sh conform/XOPEN2K8/sys/wait.h ...
It is more than likely I did something wrong, but I have two questions:
1. building glibc-2.24 on a "normal" linux-x86-64 system with this in
config.log
../glibc-2.24/configure
--with-headers=/mnt/bluebild/linux-4.8.6-NETIF_SHIELD/usr/include
--prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons=libidn --enable-kernel=4.8.6
(building with gcc-5.4 if relevant, shouldn't be)
where would you expect the definition for idtype_t to be in the
installed system?
2. ditto for 2.26 if different (I did not try this yet)
Cheers, John
