Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on some platforms: mingw, MSVC 14, Android 9.0.
• The size of the buffer required for this function is not a compile-time constant. Also, the function truncates a result that would be larger than the minimum buffer size. For these reasons, this function is removed in POSIX.1-2008. Better use the getcwd function instead.
