I have had same problems.

This made me realize that may have been the change on my system. I was
using Debian Linux packages gcc 2.95.4-15 and gcc-2.95 2.95.4-10. (I
originally used that to build my bmake, et cetera via bootstrap-pkgsrc.)

Now I am using gcc-2.95.3 as installed from pkgsrc (with one patch shown
below signature). And I am having various troubles.

But I also replaced my libc from Debian Linux package libc6-dev
2.2.5-11.1 to version 2.2.5 (installed via my pkgsrc). So I was assuming
that was where the problems came from.

I now just tried with gcc (GCC) 3.2.1 (from Masao Uebayashi email) and
still:

gcc -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I./missing -DNEED_HOST_CDEFS_H
"-D_PATH_DEFSYSPATH=\"/usr/share/mk\"" -DMAKE_BOOTSTRAP    -c -o compat.o
compat.c
compat.c: In function `CompatRunCommand':
compat.c:318: incompatible type for argument 1 of `wait'
make: *** [compat.o] Error 1

I guess I will now try reverting to old gcc and trying again.
