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.
