We really need the pwd binary and not the builtin. I really advise to
stop using glibc 2.1.3 and use the fixed 2.2.3 release (with the nis
patch as documented on www.gnu.org):
2000-07-14 Mark Kettenis <kettenis@gnu.org>
* configure.in: Check for pwd binary.
* config.make.in: Add PWD_P to be subsituted.
* Makerules: Use $(PWD_P) instead of /bin/pwd.

The NEWS file is online at http:/www.gnu.org/software/libc.
