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.

How to repeat:
Try to perform a MySQL build on an LSB development platform

moved to a todo: WL#1449

Back to verified. Same reason of http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=2371.

Closing these individual bugs, we have

 - a patch to fix these problems as of a few years ago (bug#29274)
 - a new bug to create ongoing PB2 builds to ensure LSB correctness (bug#57078)

to replace them.
