+       mgetgroups: remove dependency on realloc-gnu
+       The dependency violates the comment in realloc-gnu, which
+       says that tests can't depend on realloc-gnu; some tests depend
+       on mgetgroups, so mgetgroups can't depend on realloc-gnu.
+       Problem reported by Daniel Richard G. in
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2013-10/msg00056.html>.
+       * lib/mgetgroups.c (mgetgroups): Don't call realloc (NULL, 0).
+       * modules/mgetgroups (Depends-on): Depend on realloc-posix,
+       not realloc-gnu.
