POSIX specifies that <poll.h> is the correct header for poll(2)
whereas <sys/poll.h> is only needed for some old libc.

Let's follow the POSIX way by default.

This effectively eliminates musl's warning:

    warning redirecting incorrect #include <sys/poll.h> to <poll.h>

t0028, t1308.23, t3900.34 is failing under musl,
Those test cases in question also fails without this patch.

- t0028 is failing because musl `iconv` output UTF-16 without BOM.
I'm not sure if my installation is broken, or it's musl's default behavior.
But, I think RFC2781, section 4.3 allows the missing BOM

- t1308.23 is failing because musl `fopen` is success when open directory
in readonly mode. POSIX allows this behavior:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/fopen.html
[EISDIR]
The named file is a directory and mode requires write access.

- t3900.34: from what I understand, musl haven't supported ISO-2022-JP, yet.

I think this patch is fine.  This was in SUSv2, and I don't feel bad
about siding with a spec that's at least 17 years old.

While the spec may allow this, we cannot for practical reasons.  There
are a large number of broken Windows programs that don't honor the spec
when it says to interpret UTF-16 byte sequences without a BOM as
big-endian, and instead use little-endian.  Since we cannot fix all the
broken Windows programs people use, we need to emit the BOM in UTF-16
mode.

Does setting FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES fix this?

Yup, I agree.  Thanks, both.

Yes, setting FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES fixes this.
And, `configure` can set that itself.

I blindly followed the Void's build template which explicitly unset it
in the configure script without investigating it.
My bad!

I'll send them a patch to fix this downstream.

The last comment would help readers who got "Huh?  When NO_POLL_H
and NO_SYS_POLL_H is given, we still include <poll.h>" without it.

Looks good.  Thanks.
