Hi Jani,
Netware LibC does not have getgroups implemented, it has getlogin
functionality in recent LibC.
As ext/posix/posix.c does not have #ifdef HAVE_GETLOGIN and #ifdef
HAVE_GETGROUPS check before making use of getlogin and getgroups
functionality, NetWare cross compile fails.

I do ./configure --disable-posix to get through with the comilation. I
am interested in having this extension as a part of our php5, I have a
patch to check for the existence of getlogin and getgroups method. 
Please apply the same.

http://puggy.symonds.net/~kameshj/posix.c.patch.5.0
http://puggy.symonds.net/~kameshj/posixconfig.m4.patch.5.0

With regards
Kamesh Jayachandran
