from config.h.in:

#ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H
  #if defined (hpux) || defined(__osf__)
    #define SETPGRP()       setsid()
  #else
    #if defined (linux) || defined(sgi) || defined(Solaris)
      #define SETPGRP()       setpgrp()
    #else
      #define SETPGRP()       setpgrp (0, 0)
    #endif
  #endif
#else
  define SETPGRP()       setpgrp (0, getpid())
#endif

(indents added by me)
by default, previously in config.h.in, HAVE_UNISTD_H is undefined.  I'm 
assuming it's ok to go into config.h.in and taylor things to your needs,
so what you need to is change the #undef to a #define for HAVE_UNISTD_H.

Which would make sense, since if it's not defined, it automatically jumps to 
#define SETPGRP()       setpgrp (0, getpid())
which is not what you want.  You want the setpgrp().

If you change config.h.in, you will need to rerun the configure script.
