The Austin Group has accepted a proposal to extend the standard for posix_spawn(3) to support chdir(2) functionality in the new created process. This is useful and relatively easy to implement.

This project is about adding the full functionality as described in the Austin Groups ticket tracker, which means both kernel extensions as well as associated changes to the C library.
