Actually, it will occur on any machine that has PAGE_SIZE >> PATH_MAX
Possible workarounds for coreutils: Use a path of more than 16384
bytes in length for the test, rather than just more than 4096. :-)
For glibc: The assertion is bogus. In fact, the path in question from
this test is more than PATH_MAX bytes in length. Because
PAGE_SIZE==PATH_MAX, sys_getcwd returns ENAMETOOLONG (since it can't
construct the path in the buffer it's using internally), while ia64 has
enough room to build a path (up to 16K), but not enough room to return
it in the malloced buffer from getcwd(3).
The correct solution is, of course, to copy the code from the readlink
loop immediately below the assert to realloc until it fits. OTOH,
the diff below makes it behave the same as it does today on all
machines. (Return NULL when the cwd path is > PATH_MAX bytes.)
