You may want to further investigate m4/getcwd-path-max.m4, which was changed in 
CVS to gracefully accept getcwd() when the system refuses relative paths whose 
absolute length exceeds PATH_MAX.  I recall that when I proposed the patch, I 
only looked for ENAMETOOLONG and ERANGE, because I simultaneously applied a 
patch to Cygwin to return ENAMETOOLONG instead of EINVAL.  MSYS, being a fork 
from an older version of cygwin, is probably returning EINVAL still.
