Comment (by pulkomandy):
Not really.
- posix_spawn creates a child process, I think load_image creates an
independant process.
- posix_spawn allows to keep open file descriptors for the child process,
load_image doesn't
- posix_spawn can change process group, signal mask, and a few other
things for the newly created team, which can't be done with load_image.
They could maybe be implemented using some shared code and common
syscalls, but it's not as simple as one calling the other.
