Description:
Excerpt from an email from Mats Wichmann with notes of a build of
MySQL 4.0.14 on an LSB system:

http://freestandards.org/pipermail/lsb-appbat/2003-October/001037.html

[SNIP]
6. include/my_net.h does #include <sys/poll.h>
Applications aligned with POSIX are supposed to
include <poll.h>; <sys/poll.h> might exist but
is not described by source standards.  It turns
out that this is completely invisible on GNU/Linux,
where <poll.h> directly includes <sys/poll.h>, but=20
in the LSB, the function prototype for poll appears=20
in the user-level header <poll.h> so including
<sys/poll.h> leaves it undeclared, and causes a
build problem.
