If you like to be shell independent, you may call /bin/pwd
"pwd" is a builtin command in many shells now. In my "bsh", I e.g. made 
"pwd" a builtin command in Summer 1986 but I would expect that other
shells did the same no later than in the early 1990s.

If you did not notice this before, you may not have used different shells 
before.
