Don't we need to check if getgrgid is available on the target platform?

As I see from my man page on Linux getgrgid requires <grp.h> which is
only included if we have HAVE_GRP_H set.

I guess we do need to check, since we already check for getgrname.
I thought both were ubiquitous.

Any idea of what alternatives are available per unix platform?
