I don't think waiting until demand turns up will work well in this case. Wine Android is not really used at the moment because the target is not in a practically usable state yet. There are not even proper build scripts for it right now, and this work is part of trying to revive it. The downstream Android-based projects that use Wine already carry their own workaround, usually by providing a ported posix_spawn() implementation, so this is unlikely to show up naturally as upstream user demand. Disabling ntlm_auth on Android would mostly mask this particular failure instead of fixing the underlying portability issue. ntlm_auth is only one of the helper startup paths that currently assumes posix_spawn(); the same assumption exists elsewhere too. I have also split the changes into separate commits as requested. Do those downstream projects ship ntlm_auth?
