The default configure test that checks for the presence of a function is
certainly not optimal for all platforms and environments.
In curl's configure script, we've resorted to a secondary check if the default
check fails, and that one detects select fine even in cases like this.
The concept is basicly like this:
AC_CHECK_FUNCS( select, ,
dnl if not found, $ac_func is the name we check for
func="$ac_func"
AC_MSG_CHECKING([deeper for $func])
AC_TRY_LINK( [],
[ $func ();],
AC_MSG_RESULT(yes!)
eval "ac_cv_func_$func=yes"
def=`echo "HAVE_$func" | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'`
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED($def, 1, [If you have $func]),
AC_MSG_RESULT(but still no)
)
