--- Comment #1 from Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com> ---
This is intended to support union wait, a pre-4.4 BSD union definition.  4.4BSD
already uses int values.  My copy of âAdvanced Programming in the UNIX
Environmentâ (27th printing, 2003) does not even mention union wait, and claims
that wait3 (with the int * argument) is a 4.3+BSD interface.  This suggests
that union wait was already deprecated in 1990.

Removing union wait is an API change (source level), it will not affect binary
compatibility.
