Here's a suggestion that would be a lot simpler to implement: have pwd implement -P as a no-op, and document the lack of -L, and the conflict with the POSIX default behaviour. I'd be happy to write a documentation patch.

That will enlighten users; if anyone cares enough about coreutils's pwd supporting -L (I don't) then they can code it.
