Thank you for the reply.
I am not sure to understand why it is not possible, could you elaborate a bit more?
Could the thread running waitpid(-1, 0) then pass that wait result to the MJIT thread, and retry waitpid(-1, 0) in such a case?
(with careful synchronization as PIDs can be reused, to ensure to correctly classify as MJIT/non-MJIT pid)

Bug #14867: Process.wait can wait for MJIT compiler process
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14867#change-72710

* Author: k0kubun (Takashi Kokubun)

* Target version: 
* ruby -v: 
* Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
If Ruby tries to wait for any child process, MJIT's gcc/clang process could be caught by the method call. It's not convenient for both Ruby's user and MJIT worker thread, so Process.wait and its families should somehow avoid waiting for it.
