Failures are:
"""
FAIL: utilunix__my_system_fork_child_shell
FAIL: utilunix__my_system_fork_child
"""

These two are probably very unstable tests that break occasionally on linker changes. I tried to debug it a while ago but it was very elusive. Maybe lld's linker makes it better visible.

Is this still a problem, ago?
