There is a fallback:

AC_MSG_CHECKING([if select and/or poll works with descriptor rlimit])
AC_RUN_IFELSE(
        ...
        [AC_MSG_WARN([cross compiling: assuming yes])
         select_works_with_rlimit=yes]

In the past this was usually fine because on most systems select(2)
didn't have this problem, but for poll(2) having the problem seems to
be the common case.
