Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on some platforms: Solaris 2.4, mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS.
• The size of the buffer required for this function is not a compile-time constant. Also, the function truncates a result that would be larger than the minimum buffer size. For these reasons, this function is marked as “legacy” in POSIX. Better use the getcwd function instead.
