Two things that puzzle me:

- exactly what's wrong with using -lbsd now?
- why does sys/mount.h have no MS_ defines in it now?

- A

It simply doesn't exist anymore.  RedHat on kludges things by making
libbsd.a a link to libbsd-compat.a.  That's a broken attempt to keep
Makefiles alive because -D_BSD_SOURCE needs to be added to CFLAGS for
BSD code anyway ...

Duh?  It does have them ...

but that's not enough for getpgrp and getpgrp. These function have
different arguments in *BSD.

really ? 

[root@mips sys]# grep MS_ /usr/include/sys/mount.h 
[root@mips sys]# 

Not in my sys/mount.h.
