Update of bug #57914 (project make):
Status: None => Not A Bug
Open/Closed: Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #6:
Just as another proof that it's a feature of the shell: if you don't use the
shell's built-in pwd command but instead use /bin/pwd, you'll see that just
like make (also not a built-in command in the shell :-)) it shows the physical
path:
$ mkdir /tmp/x1
$ ln -s /tmp/x1 foo
$ (cd foo && pwd)
/home/me/foo
$ (cd foo && /bin/pwd)
/tmp/x1
I don't know about cmake, but I can only assume that it's using the PWD
environment variable it inherited from the shell to determine the current
working directory, rather than asking the operating system like /bin/pwd (and
make) do.
