Also, I don't know if IBMI is POSIX but it doesn't support execve: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-ibmi/nodes=ibmi74-ppc64/1883/#showFailuresLink

Hi @targos I'm currently investigating why we are getting back EPERM error on IBM i for some reason, execve does exist and I tested it using a simple C program.

Upon futher investigation execve is available but with some caveats on IBM i.
The underlying system call, checks if there are multiple threads running and won't allow it if there are. Since Node.js always has multiple threads running, you basically can't use it.
I think we should disable making it available like what is done on currently on Windows.
