Pine probably defines these types explicitly; I would guess that the
declaration changed between libc5 and libc6.  In libc5, the definition
in os.c was the same as in stdio.h; in libc6 they aren't.  If pine was
using an autoconf generated configure, it could have checked if there
was a definition of sys_errlist et al before defining them itself. :-)

You can probably hack around this by looking at the declaration of
sys_errlist in os.c.  Removing it would be easiest.

You can most likely just ignore the waitpid noise.
