In other words, I think I did the pattern matching wrong. I copied it from
curl's configure.ac but apparently that has a different variable checked.
Maybe we should just use "*darwin*|*interix*)" to play safe?

BTW http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-userlevel/2009/Dec/msg00004.html
seems to indicate that Mac OS X still has a broken poll as of 10.5.8 which I
believe is rather recent.
