it's a GNU extension. to be compatible there should be an autoconf
test for that extension and declare an extended getcwd function if
the system libc doesn't provide the extension.

alternatively, i could just loop over getcwd malloc'ing a buffer and
checking for ERANGE errors untill getcwd succeeds.

which do you want me to do?
