So, I think this should be up to the target maintainer and/or the quality people, but I think it is reasonable to do this.  If all or most target maintainers do this, then we flip to not run, unless the target triplet asks for them.

On my (random) target, I don’t fail any quality tests:

newlib/newlib/libc/posix/popen.c:138: undefined reference to `vfork’
newlib/newlib/libc/posix/popen.c:218: undefined reference to `waitpid’

so they all turn off.  I have a fork (it forks my simulator) and a wait, but no vfork or waitpid.  This might explain why some people don’t trip on the issue.
