My fault -- I failed to see the use of HAVE_GETGROUPS in posix.c --
dunno how I overlooked that.

My comment about it being different was just based on this from the
manpages:

  CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, SVID (issue 4 only;  these  calls  were  not  present  in  SVr3),
       X/OPEN, 4.3BSD.  The getgroups function is in POSIX.1.  Since setgroups
       requires privilege, it is not covered by POSIX.1.

Since I overlooked the HAVE_GETGROUPS, I guessed maybe we were just
presuming a POSIX system in posix.c.
