hi!
as reported to Savannah BTS
(http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=1416&group_id=2613)
coreutils site:
the test that checks wether getcwd accepts paths longer than PATH_MAX
works badly on systems where PATH_MAX is undefined, like GNU (aka GNU/Hurd).
when PATH_MAX is not defined, it means there's no generic limit on the length
of a path, and thus this kind of bug in getcwd cannot exist, so it should
not be tested for it.
see the comments added in the patch, they're quite explanative.
