Looks like my (broken) suggestion a few years back (mine was a 3.2.4 system).
Please try the following patch and let me know whether it works for you.

Btw, the FreeBSD getcwd(3) manpage says:
These routines have traditionally been used by programs to save the name
of a working directory for the purpose of returning to it. A much faster
and less error-prone method of accomplishing this is to open the current
directory (`.') and use the fchdir(2) function to return.
AIX 4.x does have fchdir(2).
