I do not have fixes here for all of these issues, however this VMS
specific code in canonicalize-lgpl.c probably should just be removed.
But when IN_RELOCWRAPPER is defined (i.e. when this code is used through the
'relocatable-prog-wrapper' module) we '#undef getcwd', so in this case
the lines
/* We want the directory in Unix syntax, not in VMS syntax. */
# define __getcwd(buf, max) getcwd (buf, max, 0)
are appropriate, right?
I have not encountered the relocatable-prog-wrapper on a VMS project
yet, so I do not know what it is.
It still does not need the vms specific variant as a production program
would set the DECCRTL mode to have getcwd() return a Unix format path,
usually in a "lib$initialize" object.
For a test program, the same could be done, or the script running the
test can define the logical name DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_REPORT "ENABLE"
before starting the test.
