I'll dig into this but on RHEL 7.4 x86_64 we see :

src/job.c: In function 'reap_children':
src/job.c:754:17: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of 'wait'
                 EINTRLOOP (pid, wait (&status));
                 ^
In file included from src/job.c:126:0:
/usr/include/sys/wait.h:114:16: note: expected '__WAIT_STATUS' but 
argument is of type 'int *'
 extern __pid_t wait (__WAIT_STATUS __stat_loc);
                ^
gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:1207: src/job.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory 
'/opt/bw/build/make-4.2.90_rhel_74_3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64.001'
gmake: *** [Makefile:1293: all-recursive] Error 1

I have seen that on no other system thus far today.
So that is a bit odd.
