Error: Spawning of process failed caused by choosenim using a wrapper process

[timotheecour]

choosenim is implemented by a binary that dispatches to the real nim binary; this causes some issues, for example see below.

I'm curious why isn't choosenim using symbolic links (at least on posix) which seems a simpler approach and avoids this kind of problem ?

# main.nim ($timn_D/tests/nim/all/t0496.nim)
import std/os
echo execShellCmd("pwd")

nim c -r main.nim
works

lldb -o run -- /pathto/Nim/nim c -r main.nim
works

choosenim /pathto/Nim/
which nim
/Users/timothee/.nimble//bin/nim

lldb -o run -- nim c -r main.nim
Error: Spawning of process failed. (Error was: Interrupted system call)

i'm on OSX

nim --version

I assume you accidentally created two issues that are mostly the same? #126

some github bug, it's happened before to me, sorry I have no control over that
