test_getcwd_long_path fails on DragonFly BSD #154437

Description

Bug report

test_os.MiscTests.test_getcwd_long_path fails on DragonFly BSD:

ERROR: test_getcwd_long_path (test.test_os.test_os.MiscTests.test_getcwd_long_path)
  File "Lib/test/test_os/test_os.py", line 149, in test_getcwd_long_path
    os.mkdir(path)
OSError: [Errno 14] Bad address: '/tmp/tmpiv_9ahb1/python_test_dir_aaa...'

The test creates nested directories until the path becomes too long, and expects ENAMETOOLONG, but DragonFly BSD raises EFAULT when the path exceeds PATH_MAX:

path length PATH_MAX error
DragonFly BSD 1037 1024 EFAULT
Linux 4267 4096 ENAMETOOLONG

A too long component is reported correctly as ENAMETOOLONG on both.
