Shouldn't be as they get the same default (but don't suffer from the
directory deletion bug).

Alternatively, if this test is unique to getcwd-abort-bug.m4 and any
predecessors...

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-04/msg00287.html

perhaps we could try the alternative approach of having fink pass that on
ConfigureParam
automagically for darwin 10.11.0 up to whatever release that they fix it on
instead?
I would assume if the configure script doesn't use that test the variable
will be silently
ignored right?
