Your initial fix was incorrect, but intention was right. <grp.h> should
declare gid_t by itself. Sample quotes included below.

From IEEE P1003.1 Draft 7:

NAME
8332 grp.h.group structure
8333 SYNOPSIS
8334 #include <grp.h>
8335 DESCRIPTION
8336 The <grp.h> header shall declare the structure group which shall 
include the following
8337 members:
8338 char *gr_name The name of the group.
8339 gid_t gr_gid Numerical group ID.
8340 char **gr_mem Pointer to a null-terminated array of character
8341 pointers to member names.
8342 The gid_t type shall be defined as described in <sys/types.h>.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

16662 NAME
16663 getgrgid, getgrgid_r.get group database entry for a group ID
16664 SYNOPSIS
16665 #include <grp.h>
16666 struct group *getgrgid(gid_t gid);
16667 TSF int getgrgid_r(gid_t gid, struct group * grp, char * buffer,
16668 size_t bufsize, struct group ** result);
