Subject: Re: waitpid (wait4) on Linux 5 returns invalid values

That was compiled using
https://more.musl.cc/10/x86_64-linux-musl/x86_64-linux-musl-native.tgz
on Alpine Linux in a docker container (alpine:3.12)

Full repro:
$ wget https://more.musl.cc/10/x86_64-linux-musl/x86_64-linux-musl-native.tgz
$ tar -xf x86_64-linux-musl-native.tgz
$ cat << EOF > a.c
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  int wstat = 0;
  pid_t child = waitpid(-1, &wstat, WNOHANG);
  printf("waitpid returned %d, wstat=%d, errno=%d (%s)\n", child,
wstat, errno, strerror(errno));
  return 0;
}
EOF
$ x86_64-linux-musl-native/bin/gcc -static a.c
$ ./a.out
waitpid returned -10, wstat=0, errno=0 (No error information)
