The select stuff is already in sys/time.h on traditional HP-UX
systems thus we should not include sys/select.h there because older
releases don't have it.

Thank you for your patch.

We try to avoid using constructs like this.  Rather, we have a section in 
the Makefile which sets things like NO_IPV6=YesPlease, 
OLD_ICONV=UnfortunatelyYes, etc.

Later in the Makefile, dependent on this Makefile variable, symbols 
are defined. In the source code, we check for these symbols.

It is not only a matter of being able to reuse the same symbol for another 
platform/setup, it is also a nice way of documentation.

In your case, I suggest NO_SYS_SELECT_H=UnfortunatelyYes.

Thanks,
Dscho

Ok, implemented it that way now and also made HP-UX support in Makefile in a
separate patch.

We had a thread on this issue mid December.
Does this help?

Subject: [PATCH] Do not include <sys/select.h> on pre- POSIX.1-2001 systems

For previous version of SUS, select(2) would have been declared in
<sys/time.h>, which is already included.  POSIX.1-2001 moved the
declaration to <sys/select.h>, so check _POSIX_VERSION with 200112L
and skip inclusion of <sys/select.h> if it is not the case.

Yes, checking for the _POSIX_VERSION is also a working approach.
