I just applied 008_getcwd.patch and rebuilt and installed libc. The patch
instructions tell me I need to rebuild statically linked binaries before
they'll pick up the changes:

Note that programs that are linked statically will not pick up the
change unless they are rebuilt. This includes the contents of /bin
and /sbin. The following static binaries use getcwd(3):
/bin/csh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pwd, /bin/systrace, /sbin/dump

Is this the proper way to rebuild csh, for example?

cd /usr/src/bin/csh
make obj cleandir depend
make && make install

Also, is there a way to determine what other static binaries also use
getcwd?

That looks right. I often move the original out of the way in case
something goes wrong. I poked around in the build settings to see if I
could coerce "install" to do this for me when I want it to, but lost
interest.

The last time I had to do this, I used "ident" and looked for the module
that you are interested in.

e.g.:

cd /bin
for file in *
do
echo $file
ident $file | grep getcwd
done

Worked for me.

Okay, good. Time to start building.

Looks good. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
