Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] mac os x: don't compile failing example program on 32 bit mac os x

But the failed link mentions rpl_poll, not poll, which means this is most likely a gnulib bug in the poll module. Rather than skipping this test on just 32-bit MacOS in libvirt, I think the better thing to do is address why gnulib is triggering a link failure in the first place. > In testing here, the compilation only fails on 32 bit OS X, but works > on 64 bit, even when using exact same compile and linking flags.
