I don't think (based on a quick grep of the fakeroot sources) that fakeroot intercepts 'getcwd', so this patch is probably ok on this front. It looks like the syscalls that fakeroot cares about that that patch was trying to improve our handling for are the ones like fstatat which return the kind of permission/ownership info fakeroot wants to alter (not including 'openat', despite that being the only function named in full in the commit message...) More generally, we rely on making direct syscalls for at least some syscalls for signal-handling related correctness, so if that ever comes into conflict with QEMU continuing to work under 'fakeroot' then fakeroot-compatilibity is going to lose... ('fakeroot-ng' would still work, as it intercepts syscalls via ptrace.) thanks -- PMM

It's ENAMETOOLONG vs. ERANGE. When the syscall returns ENAMETOOLONG, the glibc wrapper uses a fallback implementation that potentially handles an unlimited path length, and returns with ERANGE if the provided buffer is too small. The qemu emulation cannot distinguish the two cases, and thus always returns ERANGE. This is unexpected by the glibc wrapper. Andreas.

The glibc getcwd function returns different errors than the getcwd syscall, which triggers an assertion failure in the glibc getcwd function when running under the emulation.
