Dimitris, thank you for your patch!  I would much appreciate if people could report successful builds of Gambit from the github repo on different OSes when doing "./configure --enable-poll".  I would like the use of "poll" to become the default because it removes the arbitrary file descriptor limit of "select".  If poll works out well, it will become the default and I will remove the --enable-poll option.

Make sure the "./configure --enable-poll" says:

...
checking for poll... yes
...

otherwise "poll" will not be used, even if you specified "--enable-poll".

Marc
