Not here on my 2.0.30 RH/x86 system.

Could be - I think I don't have glibc.

However, if its just compatibility stuff, that suggests its just a
library routine built on top of the 'select' system call. I don't
think updating libc will add new kernel calls! Checking my magic
header file '/usr/include/sys/syscall.h', I don't find an entry
for 'poll'.
