I don't know whether contrib/config-list.mk is dead or not. But I do know that you will only get that error on Debian or Ubuntu systems, which by default pass some rather aggressive warning options. It would be fine to have the program crash if getcwd somehow fails. There is nothing useful that it can do in that unlikely case. Ian
