It does exist on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. So "man poll" doesn't
come up with anything on your system? I wonder where it's picking up
the poll function from, then. HAVE_POLL means it was able to link a
dummy program consisting of "main(){ poll(); }" .

mysql, since it's the one using poll. If there were an AC_FUNC_POLL
macro that did all the work for you, then it would go into autoconf,
but there isn't.
