Great, can you put your changes into Bugzilla for integration?

I would add a configure check for these functions, and make the
relevant GLib APIs that are wrapping them just do a g_error() instead.

For GStreamer, the only usage of these APIs should be the plugin
loader, which you can then just disable if fork is not available and
have plugins loaded in-process.
