[PATCH v3] Add support for Linux/no-mmu with vfork

[Mike F. <va...@ge...>]

Systems that lack a MMU cannot use fork() to create the child process.
First we detect if the toolchain has the fork() symbol and if it does not,
we just always use vfork().  If it does, then we try that first.  If it
fails due to ENOSYS, we fall back to using vfork().

Since fork() gets used in a few places, create a strace_fork() macro.
It cannot be a function due to the fun "children of a vfork share the
stack of the parent", so returning from the function the child was
spawned from would clobber the stack when the parent tried to return.

* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add fork.
* strace.c (strace_vforked, strace_fork): Define.
(strace_popen, startup_attach, trace, startup_child): Call strace_fork().
(startup_child): Do not SIGSTOP if vforked.
(trace): Skip first exec when starting up after vforked.
* syscall.c (get_scno): Drop Blackfin waitexec checks.
