Are you changing the interfaces imported or exported? If so, then you may
need an ARC case.
For pwd, the current exported interfaces would be (from a quick scan of
the man page):
Command path: /usr/bin/pwd
Arguments: none accepted
Output format: path name on a single line
Are you changing any of those? Since you said to drop the suggestion to
use -P & -L, it sounds like you're not.
That leaves imported interfaces. From what I see in elfdump, the current
pwd uses only Committed interfaces from libc. You're suggesting to add
use of interfaces from libshell - are those Committed, Uncomitted or some
form of Private? If they're Project Private, then you'ld need an ARC case
since you're proposing use outside the original project. If they're a
higher stability level, you may not.
