Title:
FTBFS: nss for groovy ftbfs due to erroneous nonnull check arising
from glibc getcwd() annotation
Status in nss package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
As per the archive test rebuild done recently by doko, nss FTBFS due
to a compiler warning raised by gcc-10 (and this fails the build due
to the use of -Werror in CFLAGS):

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
According to the upstream bug report at
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=96832 this would appear
to be because of the annotation of getcwd() with the access attribute.
However, there seems to be some debate about the best way to resolve
this (whether in glibc or in the callers of getcwd, ie nss) for now I
propose to just disable this check via the use of gcc's #pragma
directive.
