Currently getcwd(3) can succeed without returning an absolute path
because the underlying getcwd syscall, starting with linux commit
v2.6.36-rc1~96^2~2, may succeed without returning an absolute path.
This is a conformance issue because "The getcwd() function shall
place an absolute pathname of the current working directory
in the array pointed to by buf, and return buf".
Fix this by checking the path returned by syscall and failing with
ENOENT if the path is not absolute. The error code is chosen for
consistency with the case when the current directory is unlinked.
Similar issue was fixed in glibc recently, see

based on patch by Michael Forney. at the same time, I've changed the
if branch to be more clear, avoiding the comma operator.
the underlying issue is that Linux always returns ERANGE when size is
too short, even when it's zero, rather than returning EINVAL for the
special case of zero as required by POSIX.

this is a popular extension some programs depend on, and by using a
temporary buffer and strdup rather than malloc prior to the syscall,
i've avoided the dependency on free and thus minimized the bloat cost
of supporting this feature.
