[Bug ports/4459] New: MIPS mips64 setregid and friends fail

[pwatkins at sicortex dot com]

Passing arg -1 on mips64 to setregid causes failures.

OK, -1 is a flag value for certain setuid and setgid system calls. The 32 bit
value in uid_t and gid_t is not sign extended by glibc when passed to the
kernel, but the kernel does sign extend in it's comparison check rgid !=
(gid_t)-1.

This may be broken on all mips64 versions of glibc.
