Re: master 2c79a8f 2/2: Use posix_spawn if possible.

[Saulius Menkevicius <sauliusmenkevicius@fastmail.com>]

Hello Robert, Eli,

I can confirm that this patch is needed for emacs-28 too, as currently emacs on macOS blocks SIGCHLD the same way as it does on Linux.

Applying Robert’s patch on emacs-28 fixes the issue on macOS.

Tested on macOS 12.2 / aarch64.
