Yes, I know. But without it, some things that are expected of a Posix behavior will not work. A notable example is that the child process initially has all the file descriptors and global variables that the parent had. 'spawn' does not necessarily guarantee that. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
