[issue39763] distutils.spawn should use subprocess (hang in parallel builds on QNX)

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

And you're sure that your "toy" example hangs in the at-fork handler.

In that case I can't help you further, I don't have the resources or time to try out QNX. Your best bet is indeed to change distutils.spawn to not use fork+exec -- do you think you can come up with a PR for that?
