But when IN_RELOCWRAPPER is defined (i.e. when this code is used through the
'relocatable-prog-wrapper' module) we '#undef getcwd', so in this case
the lines
       /* We want the directory in Unix syntax, not in VMS syntax.  */
   #   define __getcwd(buf, max) getcwd (buf, max, 0)
are appropriate, right?
