Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:
Note the original problem stems when you using "setup.py -j <NJOBS>". The attached reproducer is a bit of a red herring, because indeed doing fork() + exec() in pure Python is too fragile. That is why the standard subprocess does it in C. The problem here is that the `distutils.spawn` module still has its hand-baked fork() + exec() pure Python code from the 1990s. So the solution to the OP's actual problem should be to recode `distutils.spawn` using the subprocess module.
