The example in the libc reference is correct, except that it leaves out 
the first argument:

     char *environ[] = {
       "PATH=c:\\dos;c:\\djgpp;c:\\usr\\local\\bin",
       "DJGPP=c:/djgpp",
       0
     };

     char *args[] = {
       "gcc",
       "-v",
       "hello.c",
       0
     };

     spawnvpe("gcc", args, environ);
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The last line should have said this:

     spawnvpe(P_WAIT, "gcc", args, environ);
