You could try searching your disk for files containing HAVE_GETGRENT;
(in either -D option or #define).

One is ext\etc.c

  #ifdef HAVE_GETGRENT
  #include <grp.h>
  #endif

but I don't see Ruby config defining this anywhere.

Try adding option -UHAVE_GETGRENT in the MAKEFILE, then  retry nmake.

If you know of a better way of adding '#undef HAVE_GETGRENT'. your way
will be better  ;-)

I'm fairly confident this won't get you much further.
