Well, ok. I will use my locally compiled glibc for a while, but it is
difficult to get it tested with hardly anything using posix_spawn. So this
is an incentive for me to compile bash, make and gcc using posix_spawn and
give this code some testing.

Cool, I started implementing it when I noticed that it isn't too easy to
construct the mach_msg call from the inp.
I think I found a bug already, you use inp->msgh_local_port, but I think
inp->msgh_remote_port is the port local to the server (which I also used in
libpager/demuxer.c). From mach/message.h:
* The msgh_remote_port field specifies the destination of the message.
* It must specify a valid send or send-once right for a port.
*
* The msgh_local_port field specifies a "reply port". Normally,
* This field carries a send-once right that the receiver will use
* to reply to the message. It may carry the values MACH_PORT_NULL,
* MACH_PORT_DEAD, a send-once right, or a send right.
Likewise, I think that the msgh_local_port should be unchanged, so the
other server sends the reply directly to the user.
I have to think more about the problems that this doesn't solve.

This needs to be in utils/fakeroot.sh, then, so it always spawns a shell and
runs the command inside the shell after the cd. Blech. What I did as a
quick hack was to do the same on the user side (eg in dpkg-buildpackage),
and it seemed to work.
Thanks (going to test the demuxer changes),
