Building Janet 1.8.1 on OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

posix_spawn isn't available on Tiger

Open source components of 10.4.11: https://opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-10411ppc.html

curl -s https://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/xnu/xnu-792.24.17.tar.gz | gunzip | strings | grep posix_spawn does not yield any hits.

Here is a reference to ninja not building on Tiger due to missing posix_spawn: https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/58099/patch-tiger-no-posix-spawn-2.diff

This ticket mentions that posix_spawn is available in Leopard (10.5): https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41519

http://newosxbook.com/MOXiI.pdf discusses fork() vs posix_spawn().
