Looking again I think it might have been partly an oversight. Glibc
has the mildly odd policy of putting stub code in place for the actual
posix_spawn function in the main source tree, because they consider
the actual implementation system-dependent and thus put it in the
sysdeps tree, and it looks like he might have just missed that when
copying the code..
