It still implements vfork using fork, right?  This means we should
likely fix posix_spawn in glibc to support this deviation from the
kernel interface.  Other Linux emulations have exactly the same problem.

For emulating 32-bit targets, we have a broken readdir/telldir/seekdir
implementation in glibc on 64 bit host kernels because we try to use
d_ino directly, which is 64 bit and does not fit into the long value
that POSIX requires.  A kernel patch with a new interface has been
posted which would work around this has been proposed, but it is not
going anywhere.

The second issue also affects full-system virtualization if p9fs (not
sure what the right name is, it's the older pass-through file system) is
used.  But it's specific to 32 bit, so maybe not that important after
all.

Thanks,
Florian
