Right.

In addition, I'm not sure it will be useful to look at glibc's
implementation, since they probably use fork/exec internally, and we
can't.

I'd say simply make a wrapper for spawn*, with some way for `wait' to
get at the exit status, and otherwise use the gettext code which uses
those functions as your guide about what functionality to implement.
