that might be a good-enough solution.  It leaves two issues:

- execution-based tests break cross compiling
- Pete didn't like that pvfs2 libraries compiled on 2.6 systems were
  not portable to 2.4 

For the former, we can just never use epoll if we are cross compiling

For the later, people in pw's situation can configure with
--disable-epoll

Fair enough?
