Neither is wait3() as I recall.  There are several places in the required  
libraries which finally caused me to give up and include /usr/ucblib in the

I would definately be in favor of as much POSIX as possible, as well.
There was also one point at which I seem to remember that it was necessary  
to add an additional include of <sys/types.h> to deal with something.   
Should've written it down....
