This worked.

 From what I gather, getpwd() is in libiberty, which I didn't feel like 
messing with for this example.  I ran a small test program that called 
getcwd() in the repo directory, and it failed.  errno was set to EACCES, 
indicating insufficient permissions.

I may get around later to patching this, but for now we're moving ahead 
with a workaround.
