[distcc] Re: How to get libpopt for Solaris

[Michael Santy]

Seems to compile on solaris 8 and 9, but is having trouble on IRIX.  The 
linker is complaining about the absence of "wait4" (which is used in 
exec.c).  I have been grepping around in /usr/include and /usr/lib32 and 
it does not appear that irix has "wait4",  Would wait3 or waitpid be a 
suitable replacement?

Thanks,
Mike Santy
