which version of libc5? I think poll() was added late
in libc5's life. (5.4.28 according to the man page
I have.)

Hmmm.

HAVE_POLL and HAVE_SYS_POLL_H are different things.
Your problem probably indicates that that one of
the configure tests is failing, but I'm not sure
from your description which one.

Do you have poll(); is HAVE_POLL defined?
Do you have /usr/include/sys/poll.h;  is HAVE_SYS_POLL_H defined?

Thanks,
