Ah, you are building the Unix version on Mac. Then MACOS_X is not
defined (confusing that building with X on Mac doesn't define this).
I see __APPLE__ is also used in os_unix.c, thus it should be OK.
However, I know others have been building Vim with GTK on Mac. Why
didn't they run into this problem? Perhaps we need another condition
that more specifically detects the situation where fork doesn't work.
