I'll bet AC_FUNC_SETPGRP didn't exist in the autoconf version we were
using when we wrote that test.  Feel free to fix it.

BTW, the snake farm build for AIX-2-000000042E00-hal now fails like this:

../python/dist/src/Modules/posixmodule.c: In function `posix_fdatasync':
../python/dist/src/Modules/posixmodule.c:902: `fdatasync' undeclared (first use this function)
../python/dist/src/Modules/posixmodule.c:902: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
../python/dist/src/Modules/posixmodule.c:902: for each function it appears in.)
