Again I believe when it comes to EGWPS it only looks at the airport that's in the data base and it is not runway specific.
The EGPWS data bases do appear to know the runways too. It would not know which one you were landing on, but it does change the protection. Did a lot of work with KFJK 4L/4R in a level D simulator and found that the database did have an error.
Per an EGPWS database web site:
COUNTRY CITY AIRPORT_NAME AREA ICAO RW_ID
POLAND KATOWICE PYRZOWICE EEU EPKT
POLAND KATOWICE PYRZOWICE EEU EPKT RW09
POLAND KATOWICE PYRZOWICE EEU EPKT RW27
New runway is not there, nor would I expect it.
