Hmm. You are looking at some rather old gmain.c then, if line 216 has
something related to that.

But anyway, on Windows, the fd field in a GPollFD, is not a "file
descriptor" as on Unix, but a Windows HANDLE that can be used in the
WaitForMultipleObjects() function. In
giowin32.c:g_io_win32_create_watch():

  watch->pollfd.fd = (gint) win32_channel->data_avail_event;

So it indeed is the data_avail_event that the code in gmain.c will
eventuall be waiting on.
