[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60535] malloc bug in unistd-wrappers.c

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #60535 (project octave):

I tried the attached patch that uses the "windows-spawn" module that was added
to gnulib a few months ago.

But compilation for Windows with MXE Octave fails while compiling gnulib with
this error:

libtool: compile:  x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
