Applied to my linux-user-for-5.1 branch.

I'll add in the commit message the explanation you did on your previous
attempt:
"When the syscall returns ENAMETOOLONG,
the glibc wrapper uses a fallback implementation that potentially
handles an unlimited path length, and returns with ERANGE if the
provided buffer is too small. The qemu emulation cannot distinguish the
two cases, and thus always returns ERANGE. This is unexpected by the
glibc wrapper."

[PATCH] linux-user: Use getcwd syscall directly
The glibc getcwd function returns different errors than the getcwd
syscall, which triggers an assertion failure in the glibc getcwd function
when running under the emulation.

It's ENAMETOOLONG vs. ERANGE. When the syscall returns ENAMETOOLONG, the glibc wrapper uses a fallback implementation that potentially handles an unlimited path length, and returns with ERANGE if the provided buffer is too small. The qemu emulation cannot distinguish the two cases, and thus always returns ERANGE. This is unexpected by the glibc wrapper.

What exactly are the differences in errors ?

I don't think (based on a quick grep of the fakeroot sources) that
fakeroot intercepts 'getcwd', so this patch is probably ok on this
front. It looks like the syscalls that fakeroot cares about that
that patch was trying to improve our handling for are the
ones like fstatat which return the kind of permission/ownership
info fakeroot wants to alter (not including 'openat', despite
that being the only function named in full in the commit message...)
More generally, we rely on making direct syscalls for at least
some syscalls for signal-handling related correctness, so if
that ever comes into conflict with QEMU continuing to work under
'fakeroot' then fakeroot-compatilibity is going to lose...
('fakeroot-ng' would still work, as it intercepts syscalls
via ptrace.)

According to the commit introducing the function, it could break fakeroot:

linux-user: prefer glibc over direct syscalls
The openat/*at syscalls are incredibly common with modern coreutils,
calling them directly via syscalls breaks for example fakeroot. Use
glibc stubs whenever directly available and provide old syscall
calling for people still using older libc.
Patch originally from Mika Westerberg, Adapted to
apply to current trunk and cleaned up by Riku Voipio.
