Does getProcessStatus do what you want?  (previously in Posix, now in
System.Posix.Process).

Admittedly the name might be a bit misleading if you're looking for a
waitpid wrapper.  I intend the documentation for the new library to
contain some kind of a mapping from the C functionality to the
appropriate Haskell equivalent to make tracking down these things
easier.
