posix: fix system when a child cannot be created [BZ #32450]

Browse Source 
POSIX states that "if a child process cannot be created, or if the
termination status for the command language interpreter cannot be
obtained, system() shall return -1 and set errno to indicate the error."

In the glibc implementation it could happen when posix_spawn fails,
which happens when the underlying fork, vfork, or clone call fails. They
could fail with EAGAIN and ENOMEM.
