The vfork() wrapper defined in libpthread, that's used to run
pthread_atfork()-registered handlers, is not only a very bad idea,
it's broken and useless. Here's the rationale:
[---------snip----------]
Since the implementation as it stands is broken (linking a program
that vfork()s and exec()s on the child and wait()s on the parent works
unless you happen to link with libpthread), and I can't think of
any workable solution, I suggest that we simply remove the vfork()
overrider in the non-MMU case. Yes, we might lose some small amount
of functionality here, but it's not like people running uClinux expect
anything resembling actual fork() to work.
