This is because configure.ac explicitly excludes it for systems lacking 'fork': AM_CONDITIONAL([BUILD_ICE_9_POPEN], [test "x$enable_posix" = "xyes" && test "x$ac_cv_func_fork" = "xyes"]) Not sure how best to fix this; perhaps the test should be removed altogether (are there any supported systems that cannot support popen.scm?).
