In 5.001m, setpgrp() doesn't work when it's implemented with setpgrp2(),
as perl tries to call it as setpgrp2(void). This is because setpgrp is
#defined to be setpgrp2 but USE_BSDPGRP isn't turned on, so perl still
thinks it's dealing with a setpgrp() which takes no args. The same
holds with getpgrp() implemented with getpgrp2(). Here's one possible
patch.
