From 399d2b5c24aaa059104a89058c7d4c8b97f41629 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Rich Felker suggested removing dprintf() from watch, and one
 thing led to another... This adds bb_xspawn() support, which does vfork/exec.
  (I don't know why using a static instead of a local adds ~40 bytes, but
 using the local doesn't work...)
