Error #2 Compiling Grass5.0beta

[egm2 at jps.net]

(sorry if this is a repost)

On a GNU/Linux, Debian-potato system:

Make fails with:
gcc -g -O2   -I/usr/local/src/grass5.0beta/src/include  -c symtab.c
symtab.c: In function `ExecuteReclass':
symtab.c:263: incompatible type for argument 1 of `wait'
make[1]: *** [OBJ.i686-pc-linux-gnu/symtab.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/src/grass5.0beta/src/raster/r.binfer'
GISGEN failure at STEP: src/raster/r.binfer
make: *** [do-install] Error 1

Here's the function code snippet:
    253 int
    254 ExecuteReclass (char *file)
    255 {
    256     int pid;
    257     unsigned int status;
    258 
    259     if ( (pid = fork()) == 0) {
    260         execl("/bin/sh","sh",file);
    261         _exit(1);
    262     }
    263     wait(&status);
    264 
    265     return 0;
    266 }

Changing the status declaration to:
        int * status;

And changing the wait() call to:
        wait(status);

allowed the compile to continue.  "status" is just thrown away anyways.
