On Darwin posix_spawnp is not considered secured and therefore we
fallback to Gnulib's version. That one however does not return ENOENT
when the file does not exist, but PID of the child process. This seems
to be allowed by the standard.
* test-suite/tests/posix.test (skip-on-darwin): New procedure.
("spawn")["file not file"]: Skip on Darwin.
