The bash builtin version of pwd seems to behave more uniformly. Changed
to use this version of pwd and also explicitly added either -L or -P to
all invocations of it to make sure the expected result was generated.

Unfortunately the /bin/pwd on fedora 9 doesn't follow this. I will try

Yep, -L is part of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 standard which basically
everything in use today supports. If only the same could be said
about C99.

Due to a difference in the default output of the pwd command on mac
vs linux and solaris, configure wouldn't allow the source root to
be a symlink on mac. This patch fixes this by adding -L to the pwd
command, forcing it to show the logical directory rather than the
symlink free one.

Looks good to me.
I checked pwd on Solaris, Linux, Cygwin on Windows, and Mac. They
all show -L as an option. Unfortunately, I don't have the means at
this time to check other platforms such as (non-Mac) BSD, AIX,
HP-UX, Unicos, etc.
