[cdt-dev] Starting executable scripts may fail

[Liviu Ionescu <ilg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A long thread in the Embedded CDT support revealed an issue in the CDT code spawning new processes.

In short, on Linux, if Eclipse is started manually from a terminal instead of the GUI, some executable scripts that require a sub-shell cannot be started, actually they hang without any feedback.

macOS and Windows seem not affected.

I don't have the detailed Linux knowledge, nor the resources to further diagnose the problem, but is someone comes with a fix, I can test it.
