This closes a bug on older 32-bit platforms, where the 16-bit setgroups
syscall has been replaced by setgroups32 and is not available anymore.

Signed-off-by: Markus Schaaf <markuschaaf@gmail.com>

(Personal note: Reporting a trivial bug and getting a fix upstream in
nfs-utils is like running the gauntlet, for the uninitiated average user.)

I'm sorry this was a "gauntlet"... but I simply can not take patches that
are only posted in the bz... More eyes are better than my eyes! :-) 

Please feel free to ping me privately if the process is becoming a 
pain... I'll more that willing to work with you to smooth things out.
