It may be easier just to add poll() to select.cxx. From what I remember
when poll() is available, select() is normally implemented in terms of
poll(). So the current select() would be modified to be poll(), and you
would add a new select() that wraps it. Probably :-).

The isoinfra package is intended to manage "top level" header files. The
net stack is an exception because that's imported code. Instead what would
happen is that isoinfra would have a poll.h that probably includes a header
fragment from the actual implementation in fileio.... or possibly just
provides a sensible default if there's an implementation. For example
isoinfra's poll.h could include:

#if CYGINT_ISO_POLL
# ifdef CYGBLD_ISO_POLL_HEADER
#  include  CYGBLD_ISO_POLL_HEADER
# else

struct pollfd {
  int fd;
  short events;
  short revents;
};

typedef unsigned int nfds_t;

#define POLLIN       0x01 
#define POLLRDNORM   0x02
#define POLLRDBAND   0x04
#define POLLPRI      0x08
#define POLLOUT      0x10
#define POLLWRNORM   POLLOUT
#define POLLWRBAND   0x20
#define POLLERR      0x40
#define POLLHUP      0x80
#define POLLNVAL     0x100

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

extern int
poll( struct pollfd /* fds */ [], nfds_t /* nfds */, int /* timeout */ );

#ifdef __cplusplus
} /* extern "C" */
#endif 

# endif
#endif

You can probably just cut and paste the above.
