Yes ...

This looks like your platform's <sys/wait.h> is not designed to be
included free-standing, but requires certain other system headers to be
included first. (This is poor practice, but seen all too often :-()
A fairly likely guess is that the missing header is <sys/types.h>.
You might be able to find out for sure by checking the man page for
waitpid() and related system calls ... or just try hacking exec.c till
it compiles.

It's likely that exec.c is not the only place missing the extra
include(s). Please send a patch after you get it all to build.
