bug#54667: 29.0.50; posix_spawn breaks emacs-gdb

There's a gdb frontend: https://github.com/weirdNox/emacs-gdb

With the emacs commit "a60053f836 Use posix_spawn if possible.", emacs-gdb doesn't work properly: when starting an executable, gdb says that it's running, but in reality, it doesn't start. The process itself is started, gdb attaches to it, but the process still not run for some reason.

You can reproduce this:
1. install emacs-gdb
2. M-x gdb-executable, enter any executable, like "/bin/ls". emacs-gdb should open a new frame. 3. Then press f5 (this executes gdb-run-or-continue), this should start the process in gdb.

Before the mentioned commit, this worked, and "ls" was run properly. But with this commit, "ls" isn't started.

I checked this with a recent master (bd5d136777ef30f36807c7e690413846ed38fce1), and still happens. Adding

#undef USABLE_POSIX_SPAWN
#define USABLE_POSIX_SPAWN 0

to callproc.c at line 49 fixes the issue.
