According to my understanding, this means there's some program that's
linked against libc5 (which doesn't have a __getcwd).

What has changed is that getcwd.so tries to fallback on calling
__getcwd if it doesn't find a getcwd system call.  This fails with
libc5 becaus it doesn't have a __getcwd symbol.  I've tried to make a
solution that works with libc5 but failed.

You shouldn't loose any sleep over this.  That's a message we added to
try to detect a case that wasn't supposed to happen, but it does
happen when you interrupt it.  We'll probably just remove that warning
message.
