33531 with additions: retain status of exited background jobs.
Add linked list of unwaited-for background jobs. Truncate at value of _SC_CHILD_MAX discarding oldest. Remove old lastpid_status mechanism for latest exited process only. Slightly tighten safety of permanently allocated linked lists so that this doesn't compromise signal handling.
