That's not a bad scheme but it is not inferable from the current man
page text; I almost commented on the inconsistency in one of my earlier
messages but deemed it out of scope.  Please document it, perhaps in an
introductory paragraph at the top of the Description section.

Or, you could spend a word to do the same work:

gid_t   Include: <sys/types.h>.  Alternatively, <grp.h>, <pwd.h>,
<signal.h>, <stropts.h>, <sys/ipc.h>, <sys/stat.h>, or <unistd.h>.
