Linker script is used by binutils not gcc. Only thing gcc.exe does is to tell 
linker to use specified linker script. Also how is user going to use 
newly built library in this case. I think we can expect him to install 
reasonable fresh binutils

I thought about that. Why not to add correspnding command to 
misc.exe:

*** djgpp/src/misc.c~3	Fri Nov 14 21:53:06 1997
--- djgpp/src/misc.c	Fri Aug 24 12:26:02 2001
*************** main(int argc, char **argv)
*** 74,79 ****
--- 74,84 ----
        unlink(argv[i]);
    }
  
+   if (argc > 1 && strcmp(argv[1], "pwd") == 0)
+   {
+      printf ("%s\n",getcwd(NULL,FILENAME_MAX));
+   }
+ 
    /* No args, just like "true" which MS-DOS doesn't have */
    return 0;
  }

There should be no problems if binutils is not too old
