The proposed patch is to a gnulib file, so the report should be sent to
bug-gnulib. However, I fail to see why the patch is necessary - gnulib
should already be arranging to supply a getcwd() replacement that
automatically mallocs when the second argument is NULL, per glibc
behavior, even on platforms where that behavior is normally undefined as
per POSIX. So the real bug is determining why gnulib's getcwd()
replacement is not properly kicking in for your platform.
