This overlaps with the glibc value for POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK; while we
don't implement it, we also don't want to have mismatched constant
ABI.
I know this is asking a lot, but could you possibly submit a glibc
patch too so the intended value (128 I guess?) is established on their
side too, or (yay if you can!) poke somebody else to do it? In the
past I've tried to just get them to casually agree to assigning values
for things like this before they implement them, but I haven't had
much luck.
Cc'ing libc-alpha too.
