=begin
When compiling Ruby 1.9.3 (I've tested 1.9.3p0 and 1.9.3p125), process.c produces a compile error

The following is the GCC output for the error:
compiling process.c
process.c: In function 'p_sys_setreuid':
process.c:4110: error: implicit declaration of function 'ruby_setreuid'
process.c: In function 'ruby_setreuid':
process.c:4217: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
process.c:4218: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
process.c:4221: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned
process.c: In function 'p_sys_setregid':
process.c:4465: error: implicit declaration of function 'ruby_setregid'

==== Environment
GCC version: 4.0.1
OS: Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel

=begin
This is fixed by removing lines 111-116 from (({process.c})), reproduced here:

#ifdef BROKEN_SETREUID
#define setreuid ruby_setreuid
#endif
#ifdef BROKEN_SETREGID
#define setregid ruby_setregid
#endif

Edit: forgot to mention that this fix comes thanks to drbrain on irc.
