On a fresh checkout, I'm getting two test failures:

See https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/10/11/poll-on-mac-10-12-is-broken/

C function poll() seems to be broken on Sierra.

Try to modify pyconfig.h to define HAVE_BROKEN_POLL. It should work around the bug.

configure.ac contains a test for HAVE_BROKEN_POLL. We need another test for poll() being broken differently.

Note: asyncio doesn't seem to be affect because it probably uses the more efficient kqueue by default on OS X.
