Research direction
Start in Modules/posixmodule.c around the wait3 call reported near line 10400, then reproduce the build with the provided Termux clang sanitizer commands and the no-sanitizer configuration for comparison. Done means CPython compiles with the sanitizer options without the undeclared-function error.
