I propose to close this as won't fix. The reason: poll on OSX does work, but fairly limited in the kinds of file descriptors it works with. The HAVE_BROKEN_POLL test is meant to detect poll implementation that don't even manage to implement the API correctly.

The attached patch adds notes to the documentation to warn users about the limitations of poll and kqueue on MacOSX.
