Is the getcwd-path-max test really needed? It only checks for a bug
in non-released versions of Linux. And is horribly broken on
GNU/Hurd, since it tries to be smart with defining PATH_MAX to an
absurd value (creating 40k/8 of directories is not fun, I don't think
that I have that many directories on all my file-systems added
together. :).
If it can't be removed then I would purpose to rewrite the whole test
to be more portable on systems that do no not PATH_MAX defined, for
example to just exit with an zero exit status.
Opinions?
