Not yet.  There will have to be something soon, for POSIX conformance.
Dave Korn was trying to force wait2() semantics into the wait() system
call (which is already overloaded due to the SIGCLD nonsense), but I
doubt that waitpid() can be emulated reasonably without using a
different system call hook than wait().
