[New-bugs-announce] [issue34663] Support POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag in posix_spawn

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

New submission from Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal at gmail.com>:

In some systems, posix_spawn has an optional flag (POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK) that is GNU specific and allows the user to force posix_spawn to spawn the child using vfork instead of fork. This is very beneficial as it gives great speedups compare with normal fork+execv.
