--- Comment #5 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
system is not part of GCC anyway, so this is the wrong place to report problems
with it, but the answer is simple: system doesn't return a PID. It runs the
command, waits for it to finish (so the child PID is no longer valid anyway)
and then returns the "wait status" from the child as if by waitpid.
