This can be done in fewer steps quite safely:
1. Rename /lib/getcwd.so to /lib/getcwd.so.old
2. Copy /usr/arla/lib/getcwd.so to /lib/getcwd.so
3. Reboot the system when convenient (immediate reboot is not necessary but
is probably a good idea).
The danger is in overwriting a shared library which is in use with a
different version.

We are Linux. Resistance is an indication that you missed the point.
