I don't think so.
Zeromq code already uses "#ifdef HAVE_FORK ... #endif" to protect the
section using fork; I just did the same in the test source (disabling
most/all of this test, so it now has not real meaning when fork() is
not available).

BTW, I've just come up with a proper solution just by hacking the
autotools (<ironic>my favorite build-system! </ironic>), so I'll
repost this fix shortly.
