The first thing I did was check in the compat-sys5 directory in
the BSD sources.  No dice.  Well, it's not hard to simulate.  The
"real" one popens pwd (ick!).  Here's a replacement expressed in
terms of getwd().  As is, no warranty.

The following is hereby placed in the public domain:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
char *getcwd(buf, size)
char *buf;
int size;
{
	char *getwd(), *malloc(), *strcpy();
	register char *v;
	char pathname[MAXPATHLEN];

	return (((v=getwd(pathname))&&strlen(v)<size&&
		(buf||(buf=malloc(size)))) ? strcpy(buf, v) :
		(char *)NULL);
};
