In dejagnu.h, we have:

void
wait (void)
{
#ifdef_DEJAGNU_WAIT_
  fd_set rfds;
  struct timeval tv;

  FD_ZERO (&rfds);
  tv.tv_sec = 0;
  tv.tv_usec = 1;

  select (0, &rfds, NULL, NULL, &tv);
#endif
}

In fixed stdlib.h, we have:
#ifdef _INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
# include <sys/wait.h>     /* For required W* macros */

Seems like a dejagnu bug. dejagnu-1.6.3 is installed.

Since the patch removes wait() entirely, it will also fix other 
platforms.  Thanks for confirming that this was the cause.  The patch is 
now on track to land in 1.6.4, so I am closing this bug report.
