I use libc.so.5.4.33

configure results:
   checking for sys/poll.h    ....   no
   checking for poll          ....   yes
   checking system definitions for POLLIN POLLOUT etc.   .... failed

(I deduce from the config.log that this failure is due to sys/poll.h not
being found.)

poll is defined in my libc.so
I do not have sys/poll.h

config.h contents:
    #define HAVE_POLL 1
    /* #undef HAVE_SYS_POLL_H */

Hope this is sufficient information, but please ask for more if
required.

NT? Yeah, I use it for virtual memory overflow and reboot testing.
