Hmm... no, this doesn't solve the problem.  The expansion of AC_LIBOBJ
for waitpid is gone from the configure script, but the value of
LIBOBJS in libiberty/Makefile still includes waitpid.o.  What else is
related to this?

One caveat: I needed to hack config/override.m4 to allow me to run
autoconf 2.69 I have installed, because otherwise it insists on
autoconf 2.64 which I don't have.  I hope this isn't the reason for
the incomplete solution.
