Summary:                    Fix httpd to run on MMU-less platforms
Description: 
The attached patch allows httpd to run on MMU-less platforms, such as
Blackfin.
All it does is calling vfork() instead of fork() (if BB_NOMMU is defined)
and explaining in a comment why this is correct despite the child process'
modifications to the address space.

The issue is present since at least version 1.2.
The patch is generated against svn rev 18015.

Hi. No obvious problems with the patch. However, I am concerned that I
don't know nommu people needs and nommu environments in general.

Do you nave any nommu emulator or, say, qemu runnable image for nommu
processor so that I can run-test the change and generally play with nommu?
