If a new interface should be added, we should rather add the interface from
Solaris, currently:

_pollsys(struct pollfd *fds, nfds_t nfd, const timespec_t *timeout,
const sigset_t *sigmask)

that exists since 2003.

In Solaris 11, _pollsys() seems to be an internal libc interface that is
not exposed for use by applications. It has no prototype in the headers,
no man page, and attempting to use it produces an "undefined symbol" linker
error.

By contrast, Solaris 11 does have a useable ppoll(), with a prototype in
<poll.h> and a man page (shared with poll()).

Sorry, it seems that I did slip the sigmask parameter from the ppoll()
proposal from above.

BTW: the ppoll() call in Solaris just forwards to _pollsys()
