Problem with process creating (boost process v2) in limited linux systems #529
Description
Hello!
I'm using boost::process::v2 (boost version 1.89 - latest stable) in my project with cross-compiling the final binary. If I use the amd64 standard debian 12, all is ok and process creating ended successfully without errors. But if I using it in limited linux (system with busybox, specific process architecture (for example, armv7l)) I getting an unknown exception. Try/catch can't process that exception. Google breakpad also can't give me details.
I checked the system - clone(), execve(), fork() works there. But bp::v2::process give me an unknown exception.
Also I testing on aarch64 (arm64) limited system and on standard linux version system. In standard linux that works great, but on limited system I've got the same error.
Warning: the "limited" version I mean Linux core + standard utilities such as busybox, libc, sh and other configurated extremely necessary utils.
I tested work directory access - all is ok on my side. I running the "/bin/echo" manually from shell, and that works good.
