Thanks for telling! Yes I do want curl to build fine on as many platforms as
possible, and this includes the one you mention here!

I'd prefer not to pollute the setup.h files with specific includes like this,
so I've went through the C files and added inclusion of <sys/select.h> in
those that previously didn't include it even though they used fd_set.

Oh, interesting. But then it might not be a macro in all systems claiming to
be OSF-like, so I think changing the name of the function in libcurl is a
better fix.

Thanks for your feedback.
