Simulators such as qemu report the presence of fork (it's in glibc) but

Hum, I have a simulator (binutils/sim) that has fork. All those tests pass for
me. They seem to be reliable for me. I didn’t do anything special as I recall.

Thanks for having a look at this problem.
I thought about this a while ago, and was wondering whether the guard
shouldn't be "are we using qemu?". Indeed as Mike, other simulators
might support fork and threads quite well.
Indeed they might. Is there a reasonable way to detect qemu? Or some acceptable
mechanism to look for it, or tell the testsuite we are running under qemu?
