Can you use GDB to debug the situation?
No. That is, I'm willing but apparently not able.
Try running something like this:
gdb test-getcwd
b getcwd
r
fin
p errno
GDB didn't seem to offer up much. It was able to find getcwd (after
loading shared libraries) and set the breakpoint but it would exit out
(still with error code 7) before reaching the break. After looking
through test-getcwd.c, though, I don't know how that's possible. I can
say for sure that when GDB was setting the breakpoint, it was finding
libc's getcwd, not GNUlib's (based on its address).
That sort of thing.
Hopefully, this qualifies: Because I was unable to get anything else out
of GDB (that was literally my first time ever using the program), I
resorted to directly editing test-getcwd.c a few times and determined
that errno gets set to ENOENT before triggering the failure.
