Is it crazy to ask for getcwd's behavior to be changed? It's

validate its cwd.
POSIX does not allow to do this:
The getcwd() function shall fail if:
...
[EACCES]
Search permission was denied for the current directory, or read or search
permission was denied for a directory above the current directory in the file
hierarchy.
You may like to send a bug report against that on "austingroupbugs".
Your wish would require that "shall" is replaced by "may".
Perhaps you're looking at an old version? It says "may" here:
