Let me update my claim more precisely as follows: Nobody really uses AC_FUNC_WAIT3 anymore. I just checked all the GNU programs we have here. None of them used AC_FUNC_WAIT3, except for Bash -- and Bash completely ignores the result of AC_FUNC_WAIT3 because a later `AC_CHECK_FUNC(wait3, AC_DEFINE(HAVE_WAIT3))' overrides the result of AC_FUNC_WAIT3. I submitted a bug report to the Bash maintainers about this, and suggested that they remove their use of AC_FUNC_WAIT3.
