"x86_64 semantics" sounds wrong: maybe this should be documented?
i'd expect 0 cl_args/func to be UB like in most posix apis.

and aligning sp in the child fails if signals are allowed there
(pthreads does not allow signals now, direct callers might).
i dont know if that's a concert (or if unaligned stack is
something we should fix up in clone3).
