We use threads by default in the switch system.  There is a setting to use fork instead but it's disabled by default.  The system syscall uses fork and exec on its own so maybe you just need to make sure ifdefs properly disable any such functionality.

You can also look at how we have addressed this issue for windows.  The places I know of that use these functions.  switch_system (used for executing external commands and sending emails), and daemonizing FreeSWITCH.
