Thank you very much!
Note a typo: line 126541 is on page 3694 not on page 3594.

Correction: posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir_np is implemented in
glibc, musl libc, FreeBSD ≥ 13.1, macOS ≥ 10.15.

Hi,
AFAIU, Cygwin has a working posix_spawn[p] implementation since 2020
(commit 3fbfcd11fb09d5f47af3043ee47ec5c7d863d872, 2020-08-03, Cygwin 3.1.7).
