But the clone call is very low-level.  The start routine is not called
with a fully configured thread, so wrapping the startup routine would be
rather awkward.

The guts of posix_spawn are equally tricky because code is running
without a properly configured TCB and stack.  I'm not sure if it
possible to call an interceptable execve from posix_spawn, for instance.
We would need to know more about interceptor requirements to see if
there is a solution.

Thanks,
Florian
