Get a later version of Emacs (the latest one is 21.2), I believe this
problem is solved there. The problem appeared due to an incompatible
change in system headers on GNU/Linux systems, so versions of Emacs
released before that change are unlikely to have the solution.

I have had similar problems in building GNU/Emacs in two different
versions:
emacs 19.34(source downloaded from ftp.gnu.org): I can run ./configure
without a problem. When I then type "make" the compile quickly exits
with a complaint about /usr/include/unistd.h: at line 568 "parse error
before '('", "parse error before __pgrp" and then,
at emacs.c 657 "too few arguments to function get pgrp"
emacs 20.6(source downloaded from ftp.gnu.org): I can run ./configure
without a problem. When I then type "make" the complie quickly exits
with a complaint about /usr/include/unistd.h: at line 562, "macro 'setpgrp'
requires 2 arguments, but only one given."
Needless to say, I am anxious about my /usr/include/unistd.h. I am running
Mandrake 8.2, and maybe they have given me a corrupt unistd.h? But I had
a friend send me his unistd.h, and "diff" on them reveals no difference.
As mentioned, I am running Mandrake 8.2, with gcc 2.96. I give you, just
below, lines 547 to 576 of my /usr/include/unistd.h.
The tips about submitting bugs tell us that we shouldn't speculate about
the cause of difficulties, and so I won't.
I shall be very grateful to you for any help that you can give with this
problem.
Best wishes,
Alan McConnell

I have this exact problem with emacs 24.2, i was under the impression it was
fixed after 21.x version? Any ideas how to solve?
Thanks

This is strange. There is no use of setpgrp in the emacs sources that
pass a single argument, only zero or two arguments.

Please give details. What kind of system is this? Can you send the
complete config.log and build log as (compressed) attachments?

Without this information nothing can be done, so I am closing this.
If you respond with the requested information it can be reopened if
needed.
