I have mixed feelings about this.  On one hand, it's obviously safe.
On the other, it would make getcwd.m4 the 9th largest of
gnulib's 600+ .m4 files.

    $ wc -l m4/getcwd*
      106 m4/getcwd-abort-bug.m4
      188 m4/getcwd-path-max.m4
       85 m4/getcwd.m4
      379 total

Considering that each of those two tests is stand-alone,
I find it preferable to keep them in separate files, but not by much,
so won't object if you still want to combine the three into one.
