+dnl Test whether posix_spawn actually works.
+dnl posix_spawn on AIX 5.3..6.1 has a bug: When it fails to execute the
+dnl program, the child process exits with exit() rather than _exit(),
+dnl which causes the stdio buffers to be flushed. Reported by Rainer Tammer.
+dnl posix_spawn on AIX 5.3..6.1 has also a second bug: It does not work
+dnl when POSIX threads are used. But we don't test against this bug here.
