Good point. I have included the guts of your little test program

See config/c-library.m4.
I hope this goes some way to answer your concern about robustness,
as at least now if the implementation changes in some way that
renders the polling ineffective, it will be caught in configure.
I meant to add that by including this test, which involves a fork(),
in the autoconf tester, on Windows
USE_AIO_ATOMIC_BUILTIN_COMP_SWAP would always by un-defined.
(But could then be defined manually if someone wanted to give it a try)
