Pyramid is a special case because the wait3() call is available from
the kernel if you give the right syscall number, regardless of whether
your program is in the UCB or ATT universe.  You could punt and link
UCB wait3.o with your ATT binary.  In System V make, you can grab
wait3() with
	wait3.o:	/.ucblib/libc.a(wait3.o)
		ar x /.ucblib/libc.a wait3.o

This is completely nonportable, of course.
