  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  Solaris 2.4, mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS.
  @item
  The size of the buffer required for this function is not a compile-time
  constant.  Also, the function truncates a result that would be larger than
  the minimum buffer size.  For these reasons, this function is marked as
  ``legacy'' in POSIX.  Better use the @code{getcwd} function instead.
