I have ported over posix_spawn implementation from FreeBSD to newlib. It implements posix_spawn interface in terms of existing POSIX interfaces, in particular vfork and exec. This should make it easier to port existing code which uses posix_spawn, which is already supported by glibc as well as all BSD variants. In the longer term, posix_spawn could be also interesting to Cygwin as the interface is more akin to CreateProcess provided by Windows so the applications using posix_spawn instead of fork/vfork would get performance improvement compared to the current fork emulation.
