Subject[PATCH 4/9] tools/nolibc: implement fork() based on clone()
Date
Some archs such as arm64 do not have fork() and have to use clone()
instead so let's make fork() always use clone() when available. This
requires to include signal.h to get the definition of SIGCHLD.
[This is nolibc's upstream commit d2dc42fd6149]
