I can't find the discussion anymore, but I'm fairly sure we did discuss
that. So here's a new one.

I verified it's currently not (unless I made a mistake):
pgbfprod=>
select bs.name, snapshot
FROM buildsystems bs, lateral (
SELECT * FROM build_status_log bsl
WHERE bs.name = bsl.sysname AND log_stage = 'configure.log'
ORDER BY bsl.sysname, bsl.snapshot desc, bsl.log_stage limit 1) bsl2
WHERE
log_text NOT LIKE '%no configure step for MSCV%'
AND log_text NOT LIKE '%checking for poll... yes%' order by snapshot
desc;
name | snapshot

(3 rows)
and those three animals are windows, and thus use the windows
implementation.
This actually seems to suggest that no animal, including dead ones,
didn't have poll(2) support at the time of their last run...
