That's why v1 of this patch [1] didn't touch poll.c at all.
I don't think it's gnulib problem that combination of two third-parties
(git and mingw-w64) set up such conditions where poll.c fails to compile.

If one wants to dig deeper, I'd say the problem is in MinGW-W64 headers
because their behavior of hiding MsgWaitForMultipleObjects doesn't
match behavior of MSVC headers.
