Description:
MySQL cannot be built to be LSB-compliant, because it uses some things not in the LSB.

How to repeat:
CC=lsbcc CXX=lsbc++ ./configure ...

Suggested fix:
The contributed patch resolves four issues:

 - When checking for sigset_t, use signal.h instead of sys/types.h as the header.

 - isnan() may be a macro, so look for it like isinf().

 - _POSIX_PATH_MAX is not portable; use PATH_MAX instead.

 - getdtablesize() is not in the LSB, so implement a local replacement that is exactly
equivalent.

Also, in review, it was pointed out that we should check our use of poll.h when needed,
so those checks have also been included.

The parts not about NDB are good by me.  Stewart will handle the other part, I think.
