Summary: configure doesn't look for poll.h in sys

Initial Comment:
I was surprised to see python not build out
of the box on this old libc5 system.

seems to be a problem with configure finding
poll.h

If I manually add
  #include <sys/poll.h>
to "Modules/selectmodule.c" 
then make continues

 (Another workaround is to create a dummy
  /usr/include/poll.h 
 that just  #include's <sys/poll.h> )

OK.  I've attached a patch to this bug that checks for 
sys/poll.h; can you please try it and let me know if it 
fixes the problem for you?
