In order to build bash-1.12 on the NeXT, I found the following trivial
patch necessary:

RCS file: /home/sources/gnu/bash/machines.h,v
retrieving revision 1.1
diff -c -7 -r1.1 machines.h
*** 1.1	1992/11/05 20:35:12
--- machines.h	1992/11/05 21:20:19

Still, getwd(3) seems to be broken on the NeXT: sometimes it will
return a zero length string in the buffer.

`alias pwd=/bin/pwd' is an ugly workaround, has anybody tried to get a
patch from NeXT or else tried the getcwd() that comes with bash?
