GetCurrentDirectory returns the same at getcwd:

d:/tmp $ mingw32-make.exe 
./cwd.exe
getcwd: 'D:\tmp', GetCurrentDirectory: 'D:\tmp'
mingw32-make.exe -C d
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory `D:/tmp/d'
../cwd.exe
getcwd: 'D:\tmp\d', GetCurrentDirectory: 'D:\tmp\d'
/emacs/bin/emacs.exe --no-init-file --no-site-file --multibyte -batch
-l d:/tmp/test.el -f test
default-directory: d:/tmp/
../cwd.exe
getcwd: 'D:\tmp\d', GetCurrentDirectory: 'D:\tmp\d'
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `D:/tmp/d'
./cwd.exe
getcwd: 'D:\tmp', GetCurrentDirectory: 'D:\tmp'
d:/tmp $
