In what way ?

ntohl() & ntonl() were previously wrong to return u_long.
They now return uint32_t (which requires sys/types.h).
They *could* be changed to return u_int32_t, but this doesn't seem to 
be the best way forward.
They *could* be changed to return unsigned, but I think this is worse 
than u_int32_t.

I guess another alternative is to move the BYTE_ORDER into a 
different file and stop including endian.h from wait.h, but this 
seems wrong too.
