Read the INSTALL document:

  If you are using Linux 2.1 or 2.2, you may want to do enable
  the getcwd syscall, which works much better than the old way
  of doing getcwd. In order to do this, follow these steps:
 
  1. Copy /usr/arla/lib/libgetcwd.so.X (where X is the arla version)
     to /lib.
  2. Run "/sbin/ldconfig".
  3. Run "LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libgetcwd.so.0 /bin/pwd". If this fails
     with "/bin/pwd: can't load library '/lib/libgetcwd.so.0'" or
     some other error message, report this error.
  4. If the previous step went well, add this line to /etc/ld.so.preload:
     /lib/libgetcwd.so.0
