But in that case shouldn't the "mount_point" variable of getcwd.c have
been true?  If not, why wasn't it true?  It sounds like this is the
fundamental problem.  You may have to go into a debugger to figure it
out.

Yes, that sounds like the same issue.

Also, does your platform have a reliable getcwd function?  If so, why
did "configure" decide not to use it?
