The question is how to use this feature in the context of this
problem.  We cannot replace all invocations of 'pwd' in configure with
"pwd -W", obviously.

Does it work to replace this line in the top-level Makefile.in

        @(w32srcdir=`echo "${srcdir}" | ${msys_to_w32}` ;       \

with this:

        @(w32srcdir=`(cd "${srcdir}" && pwd -W) | ${msys_to_w32}` ;       \
