Summary:                    Fix httpd to run on MMU-less platforms
Description: 
The attached patch allows httpd to run on MMU-less platforms, such as
Blackfin.
All it does is calling vfork() instead of fork() (if BB_NOMMU is defined)
and explaining in a comment why this is correct despite the child process'
modifications to the address space.

The issue is present since at least version 1.2.
The patch is generated against svn rev 18015.
