Couldn't you change the w.d. to the correct target, spawn, and then
change the w.d. back?

Alternatively, one could direct the spawned process to run a program
that would set the working directory to, say, the first argument, and
then use the remaining arguments to run/fork/spawn the target program.

Indeed, I would expect Threos to have a system program to do exactly
this, since other people must have seen the same problem.
