Is there any reason for not using execv(3)?
(disclaimer: not tested on PPC or MacOS X or, really, anything besides
FreeBSD/i386 and Debian/i386...)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#ifndef __unused
#if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
#define __unused __attribute__((unused))
#else /* __GNUC__ */
#if defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
#define __unused __attribute__((__unused__))
#else /* __INTEL_COMPILER */
#define __unused
#endif /* __INTEL_COMPILER */
#endif /* __GNUC__ */
#endif /* __unused */
#define APP "/Applications/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac"
int main(int argc __unused, char * const argv[])
{
execv(APP, argv);
perror("execv");
return (1);
}
Of course, you may skip the whole __unused dance if you know that you
are only ever going to compile it on a single OS/arch/compiler - or if
you don't care about compiler warnings :)

The above will take care of passing command-line arguments; the executable
location might be handled by a symlink or something.
