glib poll complaint in 1.20 still not resolved

[Mike Johnson <mjohnson patriot or credence com>]

Thanks to all who made suggestions about my problem with the poll
statement in main routine.  For those who are not familiar with what I
am tracking down, in glib, the configure program hunts for a "poll"
statement for proper definition in the compile based on the underlying
OS. For solaris-1, aka sun-os 4.1.4, poll is implemented in the os as a
macro, not a c library routine.  Currently straight off the ftp site,
this will compile with minor complaints upto the poll call in the main
routine.

I tried replacing all of the following first:
libtool
binutils
autoconf
automake
ld
m4

Then I tried the re-configure, I tried to undef the poll statements in
the configure generated header files, then I tried to simply comment
them out.  But to no avail.  I still get a fatal error on the call to
poll from gcc.

If anyone has sucessfully managed to compile glib without a poll,
(implied by the configure and header files) would you please give me
some hints about what you did differently.

Mike
