Hello Emacs Devs,
I have recently been getting the following warnings building emacs on macOS Big Sur v11.6.1 with clang:
sysdep.c:667:11: warning: 'vfork' is deprecated: Use posix_spawn or fork [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
pid = vfork ();

————————————————————————————————————————————————
This is by no means breaking or disrupting anything on my end (at least that I can tell), but I did notice in some commit messages a few weeks that someone was attempting to replace vfork with posix_spawn specifically on macOS, so maybe my system is some unhandled corner-case?
commit cc4edea872ca653f3e0631ce50e47b5260c6773a
Author: Philipp Stephani <phst@google.com>

Use posix_spawn if possible.
posix_spawn is less error-prone than vfork + execve, and can make
better use of system-specific enhancements like 'clone' on Linux. Use
it if we don't need to configure a pseudoterminal.
Backported from commit a60053f8368e058229721f1bf1567c2b1676b239.
Unlike that commit, only define USABLE_POSIX_SPAWN on macOS, because
there posix_spawn is much faster than vfork.
Best regards,
Jacob Faibussowitsch
