In the last full release of elm, electing to make elm a setgid program
apparently just #define'd a symbol that was only tested for by leavembox.c
to decide if it should chown() with getgid() or getegid().  As of the
recently posted set of 8 patches, leavembox no longer contains the #if
test in question.

So, does it really matter if the patched elm runs setgid or not?
