I think there's one more:

 	exec(args->path, args->argv, args->envp);
 	ret = -errno;

Perhaps it's better to solve this by changing the type of __fn in
posix_spawnattr_t from void * to the appropriate function type, but
since this is in a public header, I'm not sure if it somehow breaks
something:
