During discussions on the debian-devel mailing list, it was proposed
to enable a fallback if epoll() is not available at startup,
switching to the old poll() behaviour.

I think the best solution to this is to write a libevent comm loop.
Having the switching in Squid is a little troublesome, and probably not
worth the effort with libevent already existing..

I assume libevent is supported by Debian?

Yes, libevent is supported in debian. If I'm not wrong it is not supported in squid yet.

I admit I don't have the skill to do that. Is this possible in the
comm framework?
Adding a libevent comm loop certainly is possible. Actually not very
much different from the native epoll and kqueue comm loops already
there. Just a little more per-fd state than epoll/kqueue.

The native poll/select loops is very different and is best left ignored
when thinking about this..

Wouldn't a runtime check be enough to activate on of the two comm loops? I've seen it done in other apps.
