LYNX-DEV NSL-FORK/CLONE

[Hynek Med]

Does NSL-FORK work for anyone? I had no success on my Linux 2.1.79 with
ac108 -- when I try for example http://www.interinfo.cz (doesn't have a
reachable nameserver, good for testing :-), I can never interrupt the
lookup by ^G or "z" key. Even ps doesn't show any other process spawned
from my lynx. 

I have tried to manually define -DNSL_CLONE to try the clone() 
alternative, but it doesn't work for me, either. The compile fails with:

gcc -c -o ../../Library/unix/HTTCP.o -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DNSL_CLONE
-I../../.. -I../../../src -O2 -DLINUX

When I add #include <linux/sched.h> instead of just sched.h, it goes a bit
further but fails anyway:

gcc -c -o ../../Library/unix/HTTCP.o -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DNSL_CLONE
-I../../.. -I../../../src -O2 -DLINUX

This is relevant output of configure:

checking for vfork.h... no
checking for working vfork... yes
checking if you want to fork NSL requests... yes
