Cl65 uses fork()...exec() or spawn() to run the other tools.  A preprocessor #if
directive in "cc65/src/cl65/main.c" chooses between <process.h> [for the
system's spawn()] and "spawn.h" [for CC65's spawn()].  But, a choice is not done
in the make-file -- it always links "spawn-unix.o"!  Try removing that line from
the make-file.

By the way, Uz, that "main.c" file needs three patches:

1) Add "defined(_DJGPP_)" to that #if.

2) Merge "spawn.h" into the "spawn-*.c" files, then #include those C files,
   instead of linking an object file.

3) Add an #ifdef directive that will choose which "spawn-*.c" file to #include.
